Very interesting post from Stephen Cowan.

Whatever the actual numbers say the experience of residents under Labour was that tax went up and up and under the Tories it is going down. The amount that Council Tax takes up of the income of people on low and moderate incomes had clearly gone to far.

For most people the only cut or rise in charge that they are aware of is the loss of the garden waste services.  However I wouldn't like to think that the much needed financial boost of a lower Council Tax is being achieved at the expense of the vulnerable members of our community. I have no idea of the actual impact of increased home care or play scheme charges but the lack of response from the Council suggests that they are not good.
