Require councils to pause council tax bills for three months

What the petition asks
We want the Government to require councils to pause council tax bills for three months as we feel they are not delivering on the jobs we pay for such as collecting bins, fixing pot holes and keeping the streets clean.
We feel the current service is not fair. For example, if we don't pay our bills to HMRC, we get fined, but we think local government is not effectively held to account. We don't think we should have pay when the services we want are not delivered.
