I wouldn't give the coppers nothing, let them use the drug money from the odd bust and speed cams to manage their budgets.

You either overestimate the amount of multi million drug busts, or have no idea how much work policing is

Bingo, Police work as in getting the big timers not the geezer on the street with 20 notes worth of weed a pure waste of money and time for petty crimes.

Yeah looks like it. Wasn't aware of this, but google threw him up. We used to get a free local newspaper through the door to find issues like this but I don't think they can get the distributors any more.

Yeah I found out on our local newspaper online.

Madness, I don’t mind a rise if it goes to Police on the beat but I don’t like lining his pockets.

Ours is nearly 3k now. In other news the stupid Council complain of having no money at every opportunity and yet have spent £120,000,000 on the town centre. It's months late and £40,000,000 over budget already.

Go, Wokingham.

quite a bit of the town centre was a dump tbf

Fubsy · 22 Mar 2018 at 08:01

Up 6% I think from memory.

Our bins weren't collected yesterday.

Still, I feel that I get better value for money from West Berkshire council than the leeches at Sefton council.

xb8browney · 22 Mar 2018 at 08:10

4.99% here in Sunderland

Band A property in Stafford. Gone up from £73 to £81 per month, single person's allowance. Sure it pays for the police, but I've never been in trouble with the law, so I take exception for having be penalised for paying for people who aren't on the straight and narrow.

+5.9 % Ive not got the breakdown with me but they really have pushed it as far as they could go.

Its annoying cause if my tv and broadband bill went up that much i'd tell them to stick it nothing you can do with this but wait to be shafted

UTT · 22 Mar 2018 at 09:07

Firestar_3x · 22 Mar 2018 at 09:42

As above but our parish charge seems high vs most others.

ghutchison14078 · 22 Mar 2018 at 09:47

I miss Wandsworth, the cheapest council tax in the whole of England

Wandsworth Band E
Wandsworth Council - 0% increase - £486.48
GLA - 5.1% increase - £359.61
Adult Social Care - 2% increase - £29.64
Total - 3.2% Increase - £875.73

One of the few good things about living in the London Borough of Wandsworth.

It wasn't a dump, just really boring. I'm really looking forward to the Premier Inn and Aldi changing that. Phew. Amazing what brown envelopes can do.

Yea, maybe they should make people with criminal records pay more

Kylevdm · 22 Mar 2018 at 11:56
