Council tax to rise 6% in Cardiff

Re: Council tax to rise 6% in Cardiff

No some families of six adults in a 3 bedroom in Butuetown could earn 15 times more than a little old pensioner in a 5 Bedroom house in Lisvane. Your house value has feck all to do with what you earn or what services you use, or what you can afford to pay it's stupid.

Probably a combination of both would give the fairest outcome.

Put the Maggie photo down and wash your hands you grotty little man.

Cardiff council has dropped some of its plans to save money on street cleaning and public bins but council tax will raise more than expected.

It's capped in England at 4.99%.....Wales seem to go their own way..."Since devolution we have respected the responsibility of local authorities and not used powers to cap council tax,” they added, confirming that no cap will be enforced this year.

I read that in Pembrokeshire it goes sup 16%?!!??

Pembrokeshire are just doing that to annoy the second home owners even more, maybe they will all sell up and barely anyone will be able to stay there anymore, just how they want it out west.

Of course, we know what you're implying here.

The poll tax was a very unfair system, the one good thing that came out of it was its contribution to that woman’s demise.

At 18, back in 1990, i was on £50 per week learning my trade. Thatcher wanted £380 a year from me in poll tax, that was the bet part of 2 months wages. And Mo the Tory idiot thinks it was fair. That bloke needs to give his head a wobble.

Yup. I'm down there at least once a week, i'll pick him up and he can come with me and i'll show him the reality. He knows absolutely shit.

Or any area, there was no implication whatsoever from my mind, the point was cheaper band v's high band, that's your mind, not mine, it didn't even enter my head, that's what you are now implying.

I pass through regularly, there was no implication towards the people of Butetown whatsoever, my Mum and Dad grew up in the old Docks and my Nan got moved to the flats in Bute Street when her house was knocked down, my other Nan lived near the back of the Central Station. I still know fine people from there, it was purely for council tax comparison.

Aye, some show their true colours on here. That woman’s disciples, treat those less fortunate as the shit on their shoe.

...so that was about 14% of your salary.....mean average per household for Council Tax is around 10%....but that can cover x people......and THAT is why there is a lack of funding. People should pay individually.

The 20 council areas with the lowest average earnings in the UK all charged over 8 per cent of the median salary in council tax. Relative to both house prices and median pay, the four lowest charging councils were all in London. (my bold)...do you think THAT is fair? of course it isn't - if they were charged individually it would be more even.
