How the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority uses Council Tax

Lee Valley Regional Park is a unique leisure, sports and environmental destination for all residents of London, Essex and Hertfordshire. 

The 26 mile long, 10,000 acre park, much of it formerly derelict land, is partly funded by a levy on Council Tax. 

This year there has been a 3% increase in this levy.
