I don't encounter people who are angry about Council Tax increases or anything else other than consistently directing their ire at those they perceive are inferior to them who scratch a miserable existence via the welfare system. What I do see are beaten down, cowered citizens who find comfort in being docile. Sure, some get their hair off for a few hours on learning of above inflation rises in CT, energy bills, bus and train fares, etc, then it's a shrug and back to gazing at some kind of screen. A sense of hopelessness abounds.
The government has cut central funding to councils, councils cut spending and reduce services (pay more for less) whilst hiking CT to help bridge the shortfall. It's a backdoor tax courtesy of Westminster for which councillors are blamed by the uninformed. Maybe Labour controlled councils should refuse to set a budget which would compel the Tories to step in and with it get deserved blame for their skulduggery.
Another aspect of CT is a great many householders pay little or no part of it depending on their financial circumstances.
