    Mine went up by about £6 per month and does NOT include any element of Parish Council tax. Seems i may be having a word with my council!!

    Perhaps this has been done because West Oxfordshire has managed a no increase Council Tax. With Oxfordshire shutting Libraries instead and the roads are getting worse on a daily basis.

    What a con.. Sugaring the pill so we dont notice that the libraries, sports centres, community halls and other council funded assets have been removed.

    Precisely. :(
    In Scotland our Council Tax has been frozen for the last few years & our public services are all suffering.
    This only means that when it is increased then it will go up MASSIVELY.
    I don't mind a small increase every year but when it comes, the increase will be huge.
    THIS IS A POLITICAL STUNT.
    BRING BACK THE DAYS WHEN LOCAL GOVERNMENT WAS APOLITICAL. ;)

    Keep breathing. :eek:
    Just because I am surrounded by FOOLS does not make me wise. :j
