How much would you be willing to pay for your local Police and Fire services?

This is your opportunity to tell the Staffordshire Commissioner how much council tax you would be prepared to pay for Policing and Fire & Rescue services in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.

For 2026/27, he is asking residents of Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to share their views on the following options (based on a Band D property).

Police:

No increase in precept

An extra £10.93 per year (91p extra a month) This is in line with the 3.8% national inflation rate

An extra £15 per year (£1.25 extra a month) This is a 5.2% increase and the maximum precept limit set by government

Fire:

No increase in precept

An extra £3.49 per year (29p extra a month) This is in line with the 3.8% national inflation rate

An extra £5 per year (42p extra a month) This is a 5.4% increase and the maximum precept limit set by government

The council tax consultation runs until 19 January. Have your say: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/precept26-27
