I WAS delighted to read M Goodman's letter that all councils are adequately funded, and that there is no real justification for high increases set by local councils.

What did the councils do before Maggie Thatcher's Poll Tax via the back door? She was soon voted out, as this council will be if people eventually wake up and do the same.

Only the British people would have put up with this in the first place.
