No to council tax increase!
Amber Rudd, wants to increase council tax to boost police funding. A £12 increase per household in council tax bills will put further stress on families. Sadly much of the foreign aid is used as a slush fund. Thus, this petition proposes diverting foreign aid funds to the police.
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:
Local councils are responsible for deciding the rate of council tax in their area. However, there is a legal cap on how much they can increase council tax without asking local people to vote on it in a referendum.
The Government has announced that this cap will be increased for 2018-19. You can find out more about this here:

You could start a new petition calling on the Government not to make these changes, if that's what you'd like to happen.
