The council tax you and everybody else pays is exactly what it says it is ..a council tax.. in other words you pay money to your LA and it provides services for your benefit ,what those services are depends on the council ,if for example a LA decides to stop bin collections on a weekly basis in favour of a fornightly one they can ,it does not mean you are entitled to a reduction even though you are only getting half the service

Out of those 3million how many are actually prepared to work ?
