Quite. I'm quite certain, but at the same time not completely certain, that council tax doesn't entirely go to the council that the property is in, rather it is collected in a big pool at the Treasury and allocated. Perhaps this should change. Though I'm not sure if that would be "fair" due to some areas having a lot more council housing than others?
Errm I'm pretty sure it goes direct to the council.
I'm pretty sure that the government has dramatically cut the amount it used to provide to councils for local services. Council tax has had to go up accordingly.
