RESIDENTS are being invited to Weymouth Town Council's first Full Council meeting of the year tonight, where the draft budget and council tax rates will be discussed.
Councillors will debate a recommendation for a 0 per cent increase to the precept for 2022/23. If approved, it means that Weymouth Town Council will be charging the same amount per household via the council tax bill.
That would mean the average Band D property would continue to pay £185.69 a year.
