Well it's that time of year again when our councils send us that lovely letter.

Mine is £1046.61 - up 4.9% on last year. :mad:

Anyone else care to share their unhappiness with me

    Have you all checked that your Council Tax Banding is correct. It only takes a few minutes and you may get a pleasant surprise.
