The Tories introduced it but Labour didn't take it away again did they?
You can't blame the Tories for something that Labour obviously support.
I can't comment on the figures put forward by either Cyfr or G jones as I have no idea, but what I can say is that Council Tax isn't that expensive with the direct debit way of paying, and obviously the money goes to a lot of different sources that we rely on.
Currently I am exempt from Council Tax, but I have had to look into the cost of it before for someone else, and it wasn't that much at all, at least for my current house, and I live in a reasonable sized 3 bedroom terraced house in a desirable location. From what I understand houses are banded depending on different criteria, I think my house was band D. It all seemed reasonable enough to me. Definitely not excessive anyway.
