This is Devon: South Hams District Council under fire for raising tax
Matthew Sinclair, director of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said residents in the South Hams had been “let down” by the increase. He said: “Over the last ten years there has been a drastic increase in rates and, with so many other pressures on their finances, this is the last thing families need. The council should follow the example of other local authorities who have shown it is possible to combine quality services with lower bills, and deliver much better value for money.”
