Suspend Council Tax during the Corona Virus pandemic
Our country is facing a dark time. Collectively we are having to make changes and accommodate our current situation. While we are all struggling financially, with no certainty, struggling to pay utilities, rent, food- we need help to lessen the financial burden upon us.
Suspend council tax payments for all to help every house hold be a little more financially able to face this pandemic head on. Kids being home, electricity on longer than normal, parents are struggling to put food on the table as well as topping up extra for bill's.Having no work and only 80% wages.
Lift the spirits of the UK people and suspend all payments for council tax, instead use the hardship payments given to councils.As councils aren't being as honest as they should be with these funds.
