This isn't real, surely?

This is a fake news story made up by the Telegraph? There is no way Labour would be this hypocritical, right?

BTW when someone comes up with a relevant and rather clever nickname for you don't make it worse for yourself by coming with such a weak effort.

That "someone" being you... Damning yourself with faint praise.

Hiltshit? Too personal, what's he posted to allow you to become abusive? Wobble your head, @hilts has his opinion, it's disrespectful.

You don't think calling me a Tory is abusive?

How about doubling it if you have four working adults living there?

It is interesting isn’t it, that when considering options for raising more revenue from council tax, the idea of a 25% (or more) surcharge on households with more than three adults doesn’t appear to have been considered?

I would think something like that would be a bit fairer actually.

You mean by accounting for the number of adults in a household, the services they are likely to use, the greater demands on things like refuge collection, so on and so forth?

What extra services does a multi occupancy household use over a single? genuine question btw

My single neighbour has 5 bins and they're always full.

More people generate more rubbish so recycling costs more. Council Tax goes towards maintenance of roads, street lighting, libaries , parks etc so four people will benefit from these more than one person. below is a list from Manchester CIty council . Not all people will use them all but on average one person will use less than three or four people?
