IT’S OFFICIAL
Richard Foord’s Liberal Democrats are raising your taxes.
During last year’s May elections we warned that if the Liberal Democrats took control in Devon they would do what they have already done in Lib Dem-run Somerset: raise council tax and make residents foot the bill for their failures. Sadly, that warning has now become reality.
Residents across East and Mid Devon will face a 4.99% council tax rise this year. A Band D bill will increase to £2,642 for 2026/27, which is higher than Labour-run Plymouth (£2,440) and higher than Conservative-run Torbay (£2,457).
Devon residents are now paying more while services continue to decline.
Higher taxes. Worse services. That is the reality under the Liberal Democrats.
