UK Council Tax
Just recieved a letter stating our council tax for the 2009/10 year will be reduced by £3.24 for the year!
That's a gargantuan £0.0088767123287671232876712328767123 per day!

Re: UK Council Tax
Apparently the Police budget has been reduced by £1.6 million, so the reduction is passed onto us. I guess crime is going soar now!

Re: UK Council Tax
It is good to see that Politics is the same everywhere:
- Baroness Andrews, the "Labour" Lords Minister for Local Government, said that that a tree house would be taken into account during the banding of a property for council tax if it "adds value".
- A spokesman for The Department for Communities and Local Government said: "It is ridiculous to suggest adding a tree house will affect the council tax of a property.
