Where does my council tax go?
I pay over £900 a year and only about £200 goes to police, fire brigade etc. Does it really cost £700 a year to have your bin emptied, (and then only if they turn up, can be arsed and your bin conforms to about ten different rules and regulations). The police, fire etc should get more and i would also like the choice of who I pay to empty my bins if at all i required that service.
We're just being forced to pay for a bad service that any other business could run at half the cost with a much better service.
Some of the jobs you see advertised in the paper for the council are a joke. They must make them up in order to justify their budgets.
I'd rather go to the tip once a week or fornight than pay them £700 a year.
