What the petition asks
The Government are seeking to increase Council Tax as a way of funding the gap in Social Care Funding. We believe that instead of further taxing already struggling families the foreign aid budget should be cut and the money saved to be used instead.
In her maiden speech the Prime Minister stated she would be working for all those people who were just about managing. Let her prove it by listening to the people.
