The band itself belongs to the property, set by the Valuation Office Agency; the highest Band D in England this year is Dorset, the lowest Wandsworth.

Exceptional Financial Support. Redbridge was agreed support by government for 2026-27 (£70.0m). Support is permission to borrow, or to spend capital receipts, on day-to-day services because the council could not otherwise set a balanced budget, usually on condition of an external review. Councils in this position tend to cut services and raise council tax by the most the rules allow; some have been allowed rises above the usual cap.
