Re: Council Tax doubled since Labour came to power
 

Our local council tax is still less than we paid under the poll tax system as we were paying £140 pcm living in a 2 bed terrace then, and now we only pay £120 ish for a 3 bed semi.

Well I am in a band A property and its £60 a month following the 25% discount, £80 a month if I had someone living with me but then it would effectively be £40 a month for me.

Is CPI a real world indicator?

Not in my opinion!
