P-05-875 The Capping of
Council Tax Rises in Wales
This
petition was submitted by Tom MacLean having collected a total of 55 signatures.
Text of Petition
Conwy
Council are seeking to levy a staggering 11 per cent council tax increase this
coming tax year upon households. Other councils in Wales are also raising
council tax by inflation busting levels.
I
call upon the Assembly to cap council tax rises to the rate of inflation for
two years. With child poverty and household debt rising the staggering
increases in council tax cripple households.
Additional Information
Conwy
Council has raised council tax by 5 per cent year on year but this year is
seeking a staggering 11 per cent rise.
With
too many low income households struggling it would be crushing to have this
outrageous increase.
We
are paying MORE for LESS and less services.
The
same story across Wales.
A
two year inflation only rise in council tax in Wales would give hard pressed
households a breathing space.
