A home in a parish with its own precept pays a different amount, and discounts such as the single person discount are not taken off.

Band D bill breakdown in Newark and Sherwood

These are the published 2026/27 area averages. Parish charges are averaged into the council line. They are already included in the total and must not be added again.

Adult social care is included in council charges. Police and fire may be funded within another line, including a combined-authority or GLA charge. A zero separate line does not mean the service is absent. The named bodies come from MHCLG's billing-area mapping for this year.

The council's own Band D, excluding local precepts, is £198.60. This is a separate measure, not an additional charge.

Long-term Band D history

The national live table holds 34 published area figures for Newark and Sherwood, from 1993/94 to 2026/27. This series is generally rounded to whole pounds, so it can differ from the penny figures in the recent band tables.

£631 to £2,682(+325.0% in cash terms)

Not adjusted for inflation. A change in services or council structure can affect comparisons. Missing years stay missing; we do not join predecessor councils ourselves. MHCLG carries forward predecessor-area history only where its published series does so, including some district-to-unitary changes with unchanged boundaries.
