Just received my council tax statement for the coming year. The council tax is what we pay towards various services such as education, social care, police, transport and roads etc..
Here, we get a combined bill for council tax, sewerage and water. Although the council tax itself isn't much higher, the other two have increased quite a bit.
For us, that's another £200 a year for a steadily decreasing service. Along with the forthcoming increases in energy costs a lot of people are going to be worse off this year.
