County council +10%
District council +9%
Town Council +32%

So what do I see for this increase?

[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] 12.6% for us in south gloucestersh!te

Fortunately my house was cheap, wouldn't be able to afford the council tax otherwise

I won't see any benefit, but i understand the money is needed because councils haven't been saving enough for pension funds

Mines not got up much (5%), still have to pay 1459 per annum which is a fair chunk of cash every month, would be a fair way towards a nice new Scoob I think.
