Council tax to rise 6% in Cardiff

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Somewhere the model is flawed...and not making any political points here....but I really do think that Margaret Thatchers 'Poll Tax' was a much better way to collect local taxes.....paid according to the number of people in the household (and hence who uses more services), rather than the property valuation....even if a single person lived there.

Of course it wasn't. Who knows how much people use certain services? It isn't all just about bins. It was a measure to make well off people contribute less.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
