The forecast will spark concern for those already struggling with increased energy prices and the cut in universal credit.

Council tax may need to rise by up to 5% a year for the next three years - the latest in a long list of warnings that the cost of living is expected to increase substantially.

But extra cost pressures and demand are more likely to see bills rise by up to 5% through to 2024/25.

This better NOT happen… ALL the current government and utility money raising proposals are causing millions of people (except hierarchy),fear in the near future,due to thinking where’s the next penny coming from. How can they live if another 5% uplift is being proposed?🤬🤬🤬

Make a website and sell online for goodness sake.

No faith I government in any shape or form, all they do is take from the poorest whilst the rich get away with everything, is it because they are all good 😊 friends?

But, but..... look at wage rises..,....

How about the lake and surrounding public land sold to a private developer , where has the money from the sale gone ?

How about Epping town council: spent thousands on Nintendo 3ds’s, to give to schools to use for the maths software, “scrapped “ the idea, staff took them all home

now more tax will kill people , not coronavirus...

It’s going down then 👍🏻

Maybe councils should become efficient. It takes at least 3 full time council workers to do the job that 1 full time worker does in the private sector. Big savings to be had.

Just the workers affected again then 👍 what happens when the the workers money runs out. ' i can only work 16hrs a week otherwise it affects my benefits' 'But i expect someone else working 40hrs + to pay for my benefits'

What do yous expect it’s the torries,piss on the poor and look after there own

When is this shit going to stop before long we will be working for nothing
