Council Tax discount for single people is 25% & yet we use 50% less services

What the petition asks
Council Tax discount for single people is 25% & yet we use 50% less services, even more than a family of 4 or 5. How is this fair? You are discriminating & penalising single people.
A family with young children would have more waste, more need for emergency services, Schools - so single people are subsidising families.
