Middleton council rates freeze
Residents of Middleton will be paying a same-again amount to their local council this year.
The parish councillors have decided to freeze their share of the new overall bill which households will receive in the coming months.
This means that the charge for a band D property will remain at 15.15 from this April. The 37,000 which will be produced by this precept will be almost 3,000 below the council's expected spending.
