Trouble is, most of us will see b***** all for the extra money we're paying.

Yup, it's a joke; just like most of our useless councillors.

This will turn and bite councils on the backside. People are fed up with being taken for a ride, remember the poll tax issues?
I've worked with many councils over the years and most are riddled with expensive wastes of one sort or another, not to mention overstaffing and in many cases inflated wages. Trouble is, it takes someone with guts to tackle these deep-rooted things and few councillors or other council officials have the will to do it, taking the flack that would come from the workforce.

I've heard reports about taxes being put up in the government's budget in March too. I can't quite believe it'll happen in the current economic situation, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does.
