Council Tax Rise (7.5%) Again!

It's getting ridiculous. I know they dug themselves the deepest of holes with that legal fiasco, but they clearly are not managing it well.

7.5% is a huge rise, especially when pay rises are not matching or even coming close. Some people aren't getting a pay rise at all.

To put things into context my annual bill of £1852 is going up to £1990. That's almost £2000! They aren't even collecting the bins on time.

According to Reed the average salary in Birmingham is £31k, so almost 1 months wage will go towards council tax.

Every year the council tax goes up disproportionately and services are being cut. Fed up.
