About Basingstoke and Deane’s figures
Basingstoke and Deane's own council keeps a sliver of a Band D bill: £151.42, just 6.7% of the £2,255.21 total. Nearly three quarters, £1,690.11 or 74.9%, flows to the county council, while the police receive £290.46 and fire £92.84.
Ten other councils share that exact county, police and fire combination, so the gaps between the eleven come down to the local council's and parishes' own amounts. Basingstoke and Deane ends up with the lowest Band D of the group; New Forest sits at the opposite end.
Parishes are numerous. Table 10 lists 53, a count beaten by 59 English councils, and their precepts work out at £30.38 per Band D home, or 1.3% of the bill. That averaging also means an individual household's bill can be slightly higher or lower than the figures shown here, according to its parish.
Basingstoke and Deane's housing is anchored in Band C, with 28,220 of 82,400 homes, 34.2%. The cheapest band is thin, 2,620 homes or 3.2%, while bands E to H account for 27.2%.
From £2,147.87 in 2025/26, Band D rose £107.34, which is 5.00%.
In money terms, the county's £1,690.11 is more than eleven times the £151.42 kept by Basingstoke and Deane's own council, and the police precept alone, at £290.46, comes close to double that local share. Parish precepts, at £30.38 on average, amount to about a fifth of the local council's own charge. Local council and parish shares together make £181.80, roughly 8% of the bill; everything else is identical across all eleven councils.
