| That not the way you should look at it. I'm happy that people on low incomes for whom Council Tax takes away a significant proportion of their disposable income have had that burden reduced even it is only slightly. I would have preferred if cost savings could have been made in other areas. I don't know how meals on wheels costs have changed over the past few years but I do know that food prices have risen substantially so the increase may be due to the level of subsidy maintained rather than a reduction in Council spending in this area. |
