Do you accept it is good that in terms of PERCENTAGE increase 45% is very good compared with the national percentage increase of 100% and with a maximum of 185%?

Rather than questioning the amount of Council Tax that is being levied, you would do better to question the present administration about what they have spent all the Goverment money that has been ploughed into the borough over the last 3 years on. Just how much of this has been wasted. How much has been spent in the areas, where there is most deprivation? Also why have they spent so much time on the proposed name change, which could have been spent on attracting 'quality' jobs to the borough.
