Rumour Mill
Rumour has it that yesterdays Cabinet approved a rise of 2.9% on Council tax charges. Just thought I’d let you know.

Apparently 2.9% is the council element and we've yet to see how much the Police and Fire Authorities add on to 2.9%. In reality it was never going to be 2.9% - this is just another example of half truths and spin.

I won’t engage in protracted arguments on other people’s sites. If you feel the need to comment in depth on their posts about me or my comments, I will reply on my site.

The rules concerning comments on posts also apply to this section. Don’t use this as a way to either attack me or some one else.
However, do use it as a way of disseminating information, exposing corruption or merely letting us know that something, somewhere, is not quite right!
