Town Hall.
Councillors have agreed to freeze council tax rates for the forthcoming financial year at last year’s level.
Elected members unanimously supported the recommendation during a full council meeting on Wednesday morning.
They also gave their backing to a one per cent increase in housing rents and charges.
Meanwhile, the council has given its support to a Covid-19 discretionary fund, which will aim to provide grants of £2,000 to businesses able to evidence a downturn in activity as a result of the coronavirus crisis.

Regarding the Council tax freeze this is excellent news for people who are struggling. I live in Peterborough and our tax is going up as we have a stupid council with crazy ideas who are ruining Peterborough. They are even borrowing money from the government as they are in debt. When I retire I am moving from Peterborough or should I say Pottyborough.
