WITH regard to the wonderful increase of the council tax once again.
Perhaps the Government should consider revising the single person discount from 25 per cent to 30 per cent. This would be a good idea.
I personally think single people should be entitled to a 50 per cent discount, but that would be far too generous for the Government to consider.
I have no objection to paying my council tax, but perhaps it should be suggested that a discount of at least 30 per cent for a single person is not a lot to ask for. Single people get discriminated against in many ways.
