Council tax whinge
Over the last 10 years, council tax has increased, on average, by 74%.
In the same period, inflation has increased by 19%. Now can someone please remind me, which party has been in power throughout this period?? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/e...ten-years.html |

Re: Council tax whinge
The one that has overseen the crash of the economy, is sleazy to the hilt, and takes us into wars of dubious legality? Can't remember

Is it the Monster Raving Looney Party ?
No : they had scruples.

Re: Council tax whinge
I don't mind the council tax per se, everyone should contribute etc.
What I do despair of is what you're getting for your money - which seems to be diminishing every year.

Our council (Barking and Dagenham) seem to be doing a good job of showing us what the money goes towards. We have recently had two decent wheely bins per house, and also a lot of work on the pavements (regardless of how pointless i think the endless roadworks are...). I know its just bins and road maintainance, but its better than seeing nothing. |
