Ban councils putting council tax up higher than the 5% annual threshold

Closed 102 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to impose greater restrictions on councils putting council tax up by more the annual threshold of 5%. No increase above this should be allowed, with or without a referendum, without exception.
Council tax rates can be restricted by the government and councils should not be given any exemptions.
