MY views over council tax rises over inflation are as printed by yourselves in February (What do we get for our money?).
Why should Blackrod, Horwich and Westhoughton pay slightly more than Bolton and surrounding areas? Why should teachers get paid more money, for one thing -- they get enough as it stands!
Bob Howarth should not be looking at the budget in this way!
People are fed up over the extortionate rise in council tax. Looking at the figures in the table of the Bolton Evening News shows just how much council tax has risen from year to year rapidly. Soon we will need to take a second mortgage out to pay for council tax going up each year over inflation.
A lot of people will agree, the most used service we get our money's worth from is the emptying of our dustbins.
