Petition · past parliament

Change council tax so we only pay council tax for the services received.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I live on a private road and therefore receive no road maintenance. The council refuse to provide recycling and now have removed the doorstep collection for none recyclables. All that is required is fairness, in that people pay for the services required.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure exactly what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take. We aren't sure how you'd like the way council tax is calculated to change.

If you are not satisfied with the service you receive from your council you could raise it with your councillor, who represents you. You can find who that is on this page:

https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

You could start a new petition to abolish council tax and have councils charge directly for services if that's something you'd like to see happen.
