I, was informed some time ago, that the make up of our council taxes, includes an amount to cover the amounts that the council didn't collect last year. I asked the council for confirmation of this fact, and today, after many requests, I have received a reply from the leader, which he states the collection rate o other councils, also says that this council is better than most, but then fails to even answer the question I asked, I was surprised he didn't use his usual quote, 'matter closed', but hey, we all have big pockets to pay off their incompetence...
