TaxPayers’ Alliance responds to figures on council tax in England

For immediate release

 

Responding to data released today showing rising levels of council tax in England, Harry Fone, grassroots campaign manager of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:

“These punishing hikes will hit residents hard. 

“Crushing council tax bills are the last thing taxpayers need as we emerge from the coronavirus crisis, which has put real pressure on household budgets. 

“The country needs every single council to get real and start tackling wasteful spending, by scrapping pointless pet projects and stopping top staff pay rises.”
