Sir,
Like most of your readers, I am anticipating the Council Tax increases for next year with dread. I am sure you will be campaigning on our behalf, but I would like to suggest that the private householders percentage increase should be limited to the same percentage provided by the other contributing elements. It is my understanding that these contributions from Government etc. make up 85 per cent of the whole at least, and are therefore of even more importance.
If our percentage increase therefore is so limited we can have no complaint and the council will need to restrict their budget accordingly.
