Council Tax

We live in the country and get nothing except our bins emptied and a large amount of unnecessary planning usually of the No variety. We have no library within easy reach, no public transport that is of any use and never see a Police car!

So why should I pay more?

Council tax should be abolished and the Government should pay a per head charge to each council. That might mean increased income tax, but I’d put up with that!

On the other hand, if councils wanted more money, then they should be able to use any method they wanted. That would get people interested in having truly efficient councils!

They certainly aren’t now!
