[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 474224, member: 1408"] Our council taxes will no doubt go up next year , ours will I think due to B,ham hosting the Commonwealth Games , which means great "poshing "up of areas for the TV. But this point was raised today on the radio , one I've always puzzled over . The guy said " Why should he pay more tax because of the value of his property . " You only get the same services wherever you live ...."Posh area" or inner city dump !!! I had this discussion / argument with a mate when we paid Poll Tax for a short while . He had three sons who were all still at home , all working all over 25 ( Still there) who never pay any council taxes ...Mon & Dad pay because they own a house in a decent area but sons are entitled to the same services . Also , because my mate was now in a "posher" area than me , he pays much more for the same service , same bins , streetlights , same potholes in the same roads etc. Is this fair I ask ? [/QUOTE]
