With East Sussex County Council having set its portion of that bill at 1,047,69; Sussex Police at 149.93 and East Sussex Fire and Rescue 90.08, it only remains for Rother to set its levy at Monday evening's council meeting at the Town Hall. The recommendation from the cabinet is to set a Rother element of 188.24 for Bexhill householders.

If the budget report is accepted by Monday's meeting, a special expenses charge for Bexhill of 757,080 will be included in Bexhill householders' bills.

Next year's total Council Tax bills could range from 954.87 for a Band A property in Bexhill to 2,864.60 for a Band H property.

The current year's total Council Tax bill for a mid-range D band property in Bexhill was 1,370.64 - an increase of just under five per cent on 2005-2006.

The total Band D bill is therefore rising by 53.66 or roughly four per cent. Bills are payable from April.
