A report compiled by the TaxPayers’ Alliance has singled out Birmingham City Council as the biggest spender, with a £10 million bill for publicity.
Birmingham is one of eight local authorities spending more than £5 million every year. The total local authority publicity bill is £450 million.
TaxPayers’ Alliance chief executive Matthew Elliott said: ‘With the internet cutting the cost of communication, it shouldn’t be difficult for local authorities to find savings in this area and bring council tax down.’
