Our budget. How we spend Council Tax on different services we run. Where the money we spend comes from.
Other services your bill pays for
Part of your Council Tax meets the costs of the Greater London Authority (GLA). This is known as the GLA precept and it covers the cost of police, fire and transport for the whole of London.
The Mayor of London and the London Assembly set the GLA precept and Southwark Council has no control over this contribution. This year the GLA precept has been increased by 4.03% for band D.
