Lambeth Council has promised to freeze council tax next year.
The freeze will help the borough’s residents cope with the tough economic climate, council leader Steve Reed said.
It will be the second consecutive year no council tax increase will occur, after the council also froze the levy this financial year.
Lambeth is one of the eight Labour councils in London who have promised the freeze for 2010/11.
Coun Reed said: “Labour’s worked hard to cut out tens of millions of pounds of waste Lambeth’s Lib Dems and Tories left behind.
"That’s how we found the money to freeze council tax for two years and still invest in new services like more youth activities and pensioners’ lunch clubs.”
The average band council tax, band D, including precepts, is £1,235.11.
