Times Online: Council tax rises to beat inflation for a tenth year
The average council tax bill will rise 3.8% to £1,315. This means that since Labour came to power, council tax has risen 90%, and every year has seen increases above inflationary levels. Unsurprisingly, these increases will anger many who perceive the quality of local services to be decreasing.

Quality of services are decreasing because Council Tax is basically being syphoned into public sector pension schemes and not holes in the roads, etc.

spot on tyrellcorpation, and with people living longer it can only get worse as more retires jump on the band wagon less tend to drop off. The reckon 30% of the police budgetis soaked up in police pensions and sick leave.

The condition of the roads is this country are terrible, and now were going to have to pay per mile to use them. Restricting peoples movement is the classic sign of a economy in decline.
