Labour's proposed Council Tax increase.
Many Chesterfield resident's were shocked to see in the local media that the Labour leaders of Chesterfield Borough Council are thinking of a 3.5% Council Tax rise this year - despite the coalition government offering a special grant to pay for Council Tax to be frozen for the second year running.

Labour say that it will make it harder for the Council to manage in future years if Chesterfield doesn't put Council Tax up this year.
