Stop Council Tax raising above inflation rate

Petition Details

Council Tax is unfair. It is based solely on property value, not ability to pay.
In the last 4 years my council tax has increased by just over £300 an increase of 18%
It is not sustainable for people to maintain an above inflation increase year after year.

This petition was rejected

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. Council tax increases are the responsibility of your local council.

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:

www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

You could start a new petition asking the Parliament to set a legal cap on all council tax increases in England, if that's what you want to happen.
