Wandsworth Council's Spending Review final report, published around 15 September 2026, proposes a £958 Band D rise for 2027-28, taking the council's own element from £509.84 to £1,468 (about 188 per cent), as shown on wandsworth.gov.uk and reported by Putney.news.
The market resolves on a spending review, budget report or budget consultation published on wandsworth.gov.uk or in the council's committee papers by 30 September 2026 that states a proposed 2027-28 council tax increase; YES if the figure, or the lower bound of a stated range, is 100 per cent or more of the borough element. If that source has not published in time, PoliticsHome and BBC News settle it.
Councils that asked to go above the limit usually got a yes. We looked at every request by an English council for its own higher limit with a public outcome in the three yearly rounds from 2024-25 to 2026-27. We asked whether ministers granted a higher limit, at any level. Twenty requests are on record, and seventeen were granted. The eight most recent are shown below.
