Stop council tax and water bills increasing above 5%

Petition Details

Water bills and council tax are being looked at to increase by more than 5% with most families already struggling. The councils waste money every year and water bill hikes are down to water companies lack of investing and paying shareholders instead of spending wisely

Additional Information

Because they promised the people would not pay for water companies lack of investment. Council tax is supposed to rise in line with inflation yet again they are saying it can rise by 25%
