    Is that really true? I can’t believe it is that cheap.

      I live in Richmond, I don't think it's that bad.

      IIRC, it also covers provision for emergency services.

      Us lucky Londoners also have to pay up for the GLA, which is about 20% of the whole bill...

        Not many people living there and plenty of businesses paying high rates.

              The services provided by the council for that money...

                Another sub £1000 council tax bill here. I must be one of the paupers.

                Then again I do think this is expensive in relation to the services.

                  I'll keep on saying this, if you actually look at the breakdown of your council tax you will find out what section has increased the most over the last ten years:

                  Housing and Council Tax benefits awarded.

                  Yes, that's right. Social engineering via your council tax.
                  If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.
