Just had my new payment plan. We’re band F and will be paying £253/month. Up 4% overall .
Police funding has gone up by10.4% but no increase in adult social care. IMO this should have gone up too.
I’m still working part time so we can continue to live here for another few years. I work from my converted garage so need the space.
When I give up we’ll enjoy our home completely for a couple of years then move somewhere smaller and nearer town with a lower CT rate.
I don’t think we get anymore for our money than a couple living in a smaller property so it’s up to us if we want to move and get the same services for less.
I do realise that some people don’t have that option.
I don’t know which system would be fairer but there are many factors involved e.g. we live in a village and have to travel to access amenities, I think we have about 6 street lights for example.
