To even things up for the vast majority that just pay council tax to have the bins emptied late most of the time and roads salted occasionally they should fold it into PAYE as a flat fee.

You cannot cut your way to profitability, so they have no choice but to raise council tax.
Money is being extracted from this country, billionaires make huge wealth increases, global businesses avoid huge amounts of tax.
The only way things ever get back to ‘normal’ for the common people is tackling wealth inequality by the government.
Have a go at businesses over stagnant wages or close the tax loop holes but do something because these Reform grifters will promise the world and you’ll get nothing.

I thought it was just a just a case of cutting all of the DEI spending, slashing the waste and jobs done? Don’t tell me there is more to running things than just shouting “I can do better” from the sidelines.

We need an immediate election for Staffordshire council after Reform have broken their election pledge.

Why do all reform MPs look like crooks and grifters

They also handed back millions that central government gave them to install EV chargers in Staffordshire. Shows you where their interests lie.
