Poor Jo with her high rates increase (26 June) I think we have all been done. The enclosed document (dated 15/3/06) clearly shows the rates increased amounts, this is an estimate but how could the council get it so wrong?
I gave up as the 2009 demand exceeded the estimate, so what is in store for the rest of us when we get our 2010 rates account?
The latest information on the up and coming increases on power, petrol and food, will more than eat up the small decrease in tax.
