Council tax: local referendums stop this planned council tax increase
Council Tax has been going up Excessive amounts every year and we are getting less services for our money each year. The Government should fund more to councils with the Tax already paid to them by the Taxpayers. Wages/inflation is not as high as the rises which most households can now ill afford.
Libraries, Schools,Police and services are being reduced or closed down every year. This has to stop. School class sizes are rising, policing and services have been decimated. My council tax is now almost 10% of my wage with tax and national insurance this take my tax liability to over 45% for a low income family, surely this cannot continue.The excuse is social care but this is also taken out from our taxes and Nat Insurance contributions. Stop this exploitation now. The government do not care.
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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition calling on the Government to stop the increase in the cap on council tax rises (without a local referendum), or to lower the cap, if that's what you want to happen. You could also start a new petition asking for the UK Government to increase funding for Local Councils, if that's what you want to happen.
We'd be happy to help you write a new petition if you'd like us to. You can contact us at [email protected]
