Area averages set by councils for 2026-27 (MHCLG). Real bills vary by parish, band and discount. How the figures work

Parish and town councils and charter trustees with at least 100 Band D-equivalent homes (7,946 of 8,900); smaller ones are left out because a small change moves their charge a lot. The value is the change in the parish part of a Band D bill on 2025-26.
