Current Consultations
Precept Consultation
The PCC is currently consulting on the policing precept for Cleveland in 2026-27.
The policing precept is how much householders pay with their Council Tax payments towards the cost of policing and community safety.
Residents are being presented with a range of options for next year based on monthly figures for a Band D property.
Most householders in Cleveland live in Band A or B properties so they will pay considerably less than any of the proposed increases.
