Reduction in council tax until country stabilises.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Local authorities should not be increasing council tax during this time of health and financial instability. A reduction from the already exorbitant rate should be implemented into the government scheme to support the uk in these times.
Local council tax is ever increasing and less and less is being done by councils . I will be forced to sell my house as council tax amount is imbalanced on my income .
