It's actually £1277.40 but if you want to add in the water and sewerage costs it takes you to £1721.64

For Manchester the band D council tax is £1646.02 you've then got to add on the privatised water and sewerage charges.

Newcastle is worse at £1860.03 for band D.
Ahh fair point. Forgot about the rolled up water and sewerage charge. That certainly makes a big difference!

On a side note I’m not sure why water and sewage gets charged more per band...the value of a home doesn’t seem to be linked in any direct way to how much water it uses. Also due to it not metered what incentive is there for people to use it efficiently?

That said maybe it’s just easier not to charge for it separately. Some folk have enough trouble paying for the gas n leccy without putting water bills into the mix as well.
