Some councils had proposed rises just below 5% e.g. 4.99%, 4.98%, 4.95% but rounded to one decimal point they become 5%. Figures for London are provisional and are subject to change until each authority's full council has agreed its 2008/09 charges. Band D covers any property that would have fetched £68,001 to £88,000 if it had been sold on 1 April 1991. All percentage figures have been rounded to one decimal place. Con: Conservative, Lab: Labour, LD: Liberal Democrat, NOC: No overall control, Ind: Independent.
