You will also note (if you read back through my previous posts) I looked upon the amount I paid whilst childless as an investment for the future when I will make use of these services. So no cherry picking here. However given the amount of cuts most councils are making there wont be much left by the time I need it.
With regard to Council tax banding the majority for householders in the district live in properties between band B and band E so there is where the few hundred pounds difference is! The districts charge is only around a difference of £3.50 per band per annum as the charge is so low.
