Original Note:
During the years 2010-2015 the coalition Government introduced a 'local tax lock' that effectively stopped councils increasing Council Tax without holding a local referendum (at their own cost). Councils were paid 'freeze grants' by the Government during this period https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN05682/SN05682.pdf
