One expenditure everyone forgets the Council tax pays for is Highways maintenance on all the local roads and pavements for which households with several cars reap the most benefit. No council tax can ever be fair if it has to be a one size fits all. Poll tax penalised childless couples, council tax penalises pensioners who have worked hard all their lives.

As long as it is only based on where you live it penalises couples rattling round in large houses but not by that much as the difference between a band A property and a band G is only a few hundred pounds at most.
