Stop or reverse the 15% Council Tax increase by Surrey County Council
Stop the 15% Council Tax increase proposed by Surrey County Council in 2017. If this issue is debated in Parliament after it is implemented, then this rise should be back-dated by means of full refunds to all residents.
Details of the increase:

This rise is proposed, despite the council paying £ 1 Million to its tope executives:

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This proposal is the responsibility of Surrey County Council.
If this proposal is agreed to by the Council, there will then be a referendum to ask residents whether they agree with the proposal. The power to stop the proposed rise therefore ultimately rests with the people of Surrey.
You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
