Regardless of how nicely the story is dressed up, nothing hides the fact that council tax is going up and up every year, and councils are doing less and less every year.0

I have Band D in South staffordshire and it's risen 2%. Oddly enough the increase pushed me into eligibility for council tax benefit too
Granted only £1 something a week so the amount I'm now paying per month is the same as I've been paying for the past 3-4 months since coming off income support anyway

I wonder how they calculate the average. Do they just count up the increase of each council and take the mean, or do they take into account the number of properties?0 -
