I WISH to register my disgust at the latest rise in extortion - sorry, I mean council tax.

I do not know which joker set the figures, but where do they think money comes from? In my case, it has to be earned and taken from a low wage.

It does not encourage me to work and look after my own. Rises of this kind are totally out of order.

Are you councillors listening?
