Will you be able to pay next year’s FIVE PER CENT council tax rise?
Isn’t it wonderful that dodgy Tory Robert Jenrick has announced a huge boost in councils’ spending power next year?
And isn’t it diabolical that, after finding billions upon billions of pounds for fake firms run by Tory cronies, these funds will be provided via a massive five per cent hike in council tax?
Councils will be given the freedom to hike bills by 5% next year despite wages and growth stalling in the pandemic.
The small print of a police grants report, published today, also reveals next year’s police funding is dependent on council tax hikes of £15 for a Band D home.
Those hikes would be over and above the other rises in council tax to pay for general services and social care.
And what will you get for it?
Street lighting, rubbish collection (except you still won’t be able to recycle everything that you should), and inflated salaries for councillors and council officers who don’t deserve them.
