About Sutton’s figures
Sutton's Band D of £2,378.64 is carved into just two pieces. The council itself sets £1,868.13, or 78.5%, and the GLA takes £510.51, or 21.5%. The Metropolitan Police and London's fire service are paid for out of that GLA slice, which is why Sutton bills list neither police nor fire separately; there are no parishes either.
Since every one of the 32 councils carrying that GLA charge pays exactly the same £510.51, the ordering among them is decided by local shares alone. Sutton comes seventh from the top.
What stands out in Sutton is how little housing sits on the lowest rung. A mere 1,000 of its 86,480 homes, about one in eighty-six, are in Band A, which here costs £1,585.76. Households crowd instead into the middle: Band C holds 28,410 homes, roughly a third, and Band D a further 24,820, or 28.7%. Above them, bands E to H together take in 28.0%, with Band H, at £4,757.28, holding 290.
In practical terms, a Sutton Band C or Band D bill is far more representative of local households than the Band A figure, which applies to barely 1.2% of addresses. Between Sutton's Band C, at £2,114.35, and its Band D, the difference is £264.29 a year.
Year on year, Sutton added £108.92 to Band D, or 4.8%, which leaves it £32.33 below the simple average of England's 296 councils, and Sutton's local portion includes the year's £35.59 increment of adult social care precept.
Band D is the band the national tables use to compare councils. In Sutton it is £2,378.64 a year. Across the 296 councils in England the simple average of Band D is £2,410.97, and 104 of them charge less than Sutton.
The dearest Band D in England is Dorset at £2,765.02; the cheapest is Wandsworth at £1,028.21.
