P-06-1536 Introduce inflation cap to all Local Authority council tax increases in Wales

Petitions4

This petition was submitted by Dewi Davies, having collected a total of 286 signatures.

Text of petition:

Local Authorities routinely apply above inflation increases to council tax rates whilst reducing services, often to fill shortfalls in Welsh Government settlements, which is unfair on working families. This puts unsustainable pressure on household budgets, increasing child poverty (Programme for Government priority).

Limiting increases to inflation would alleviate unsustainable pressure on household budgets whilst allowing fair inflation linked increases to local authority council tax revenues
