It's been frozen for a few years, now it's payback.
No one is accountable they just blame everyone else. I always wonder what sort of financial background these councillors have, probably none but they are in charge of multi million pound budgets and what it is spent on. |

My local council put a leaflet through the door breaking down the council tax spend. I don't use any of it, except the fortnightly bin collection, and upkeep of local roads (which is nothing for them to crow about!)
Basically £2.5k per year to get my bins emptied. And you have to pay extra for any garden waste. |

Don't think too many would want to live under Birmingham Council. You pay your Council Tax and still don't your bins emptied.

If there was a betfair market for the most INCOMPETENT District Council in the U.K. It would be Mid -Devon District ; an overpaid "Chief Executive " £2,000 a week * YES ) that amount . Track record , Bankrupted medium sized ( Pemberton ) company , refused payment for Work done ; then coughed up 2/3 of a million pound ( confidential agreement ) from A/C Ment to help tenants . Bought retail outlet , middle of Tiverton when obvious decline in urban shopping ; helped footfall by increasing parking charges in all adjacent areas ; new Lidl's opended , so their's shut . Against sage advice ( and fiasco of Palmerston Park as SET -OUT ABOVE ) , Decided to form a Building company , taking on companies with years of experince and nous ; 3 Directors who you let run a ten -bob raffle at your peril .Built on sites , in some cases suitable only for Sherpas ( and fit buggers at that ) ; a few sucessful small sites , but then , against all sense ,reason and obvious snags set out constructing 40 flats , dwellings with so many defects they are still unoccupied after many ,many ,months ; no rental income plus , the effects of being empty .The solution !! , sell them to themselves , ( Confidential price) . Still not passed fit to live in . Can anyone better / worsen this ?? . It puts the ground -nut scheme in the 50's , in context .
