I typed 'Council tax' into google and got the answer. I find that with something so important it is usually best to find official sources than ask people on a message board.
Contact them again.
With a bit of luck they might all get a terribly painful illness and die horribly. I'd be so happy if they did.
You seem...bitter...
i tried that approach.
it took them less than a week.
i'm ignoring it so far though, as the house is unoccupied, and therefore not in need of any council services.
Just as well really, its not like the council actually provide any for their £1000 a year.
Bitter? Me?
I'm not bitter at all that I had to pay the thieves a grand for, erm, not a lot really. I got to contribute to the £1,400,000 paid to councillors for their expenses last year though. A bargain, I'm sure you'd all agree :thumb:
Words cannot describe how much I loathe the council and all the thieving bastard bosses that "work" there. Actually, I'm being unfair, taking so many backhanders and bribes is tiring work.
thankfully our house is in the lowest tax band. even so, i feel £700 a year is a bit steep for collecting bins (only thing they seem to manage).
anyone know if responsibility for clearing dumped stuff in a council house lies with the council or their tenant? apparently cleaning the shit up off their half of our shared drive is too much to manage, and i don't much fancy having a showdown with ms. asbo next door :nervous:
because i (will) live in an area where 40% of the houses are local authority owned so you get a lot more for your money.
bands are worked out on the price the house was in 1992 (i think) and to be the cheapest, it has to have been worth £35,000 or less. our little house sold for £11,000 in 1991. bless.
i might write them a polite letter telling them that having broken glass in a pit on a drive where kiddies play is probably not the greatest of ideas if they're trying to avoid being sued.
i guess the tent, duvet, plastic pond, chest of drawers and tv aren't quite as dangerous, but i'd still prefer not to have to run them over in order to get down our drive.
