Council Tax.Did yours go up?
12 Answers
This week we got our council tax bill and I was astounded to see that it hasn't gone up at all....Not one single penny.First time ever that I can remember. Especially with every other thing in life,apart from wages,going up. I wondered if this is just where I live or is it all over the country? Maybe we are just very very lucky.

Don't worry DTcrosswordfan about the pot holes
Councils will get an extra £100m to try and fix England's potholed roads after they were so badly damaged during this winter's extreme cold weather.
The funding is in addition to this year's previously allocated £831m budget, and on top of the £3bn that the Government has pledged to spend over the next four years.
Although the money will come as a welcome boost, and will be gratefully received by councils, a similar £100m boost was handed out last year as well, suggesting that the budget is not sufficient in the first place.
Transport Secretary Philip Hammond said: "Millions of motorists across the country have their daily drives ruined by potholes. And the awful winter weather we had this year is only going to make that problem worse. That is why, despite the tough financial position we are in, we are going to give councils over £100m extra to help carry out much needed repairs to England's roads."
The money will be allocated on the basis of need, taking into account how many roads each council has to deal with and how badly damaged they are.

well that is about 2.5 mln each county - assuming there are some 40 odd counties......and how much is your average pot hole to repair? about a £100 - so thats about 25000 repaired - a start but the condition of the roads/lanes down here they need major work - I think that budget will not go that far.
However, better than zip.
