Apparently the councils have kept council-tax rises down a bit – under inflation – (which could be anything at the moment), so that’s encouraging.
But what has always bugged me is this: If I do a job for someone I get paid when the job is done and the ‘customer’ is happy with the job – OK? Simples really isn’t it?
So you’d expect councils, of all people, to work in the same way, yes?
So why do we pay our rates bills ‘in advance’? i.e. BEFORE we see the results of the work we pay for?
Amatuer business…..it’s all Greek to me……………….
