176% increase in Council Tax

Anglesey Parish Council has decided in its meeting last Thursday to increase the Parish precept by 176%.

This decision is utterly unjustified in the current economic climate and in one of the most impovrished wards in the Country.  People are really concerned about their jobs, bills and livelihoods.  No one needs extra tax burden and certainly not to such a ridiculous extent.

There was strong public opposition to this decision after Burton Mail highlighted the issue after last months meeting.  However public out cry went unnoticed as Parish Councillors had no intention to change their mind.
