"Homes in West Chelmsford could be hiked into higher council tax bands when revaluation takes place after April 1st," said Lib Dem Parliamentary candidate Stephen Robinson. "The rises here since 1991 have been higher than the national average, which means many council tax payers in West Chelmsford could see a large rise. Council tax bills for the next ten years will be based on the April 1st 2005 property prices."
