Average demand in more than half of London boroughs expected to break £2,000 barrier
The primary conceptual idea of the article is the significant increase in council tax rates across London boroughs, with many expected to exceed £2,000 per year for a band D property.
Several factors are driving this increase, including:
* Financial difficulties faced by borough councils: This is forcing many to raise council tax to avoid bankruptcy.
* Mayor Sadiq Khan's decision to increase his "precept", which contributes to funding the Metropolitan Police.
This situation raises concerns about the disproportionate impact on the poorest Londoners, who may bear a greater burden from these increased rates.
