Stating facts on household charge

I am trying to find out how many local authority tenants registered for the household charge so they could be exempted from the charge?

I have good reason to believe these figures are being used as fact and added to the numbers that have ‘registered and paid’ when they have only just registered.

How many multiple properties under the one landlord are being counted as individual households when in fact they have only one owner? We all know how spin, confusion and misuse of facts are used to make a compelling argument.

So we can all see the true picture of the numbers, rightly refusing to pay for the same service twice.

Also, since they privatised the refuse collection how many taxpayers and rate-payers have received a refund in the post to go towards the private service they must now avail of?

There are 883 councillors and 34 councils that must be paid for yearly. All they do is pass budgets and bye-laws, show up to claim expenses/wages and that’s it for the year.

Please come out publicly and justify you are worth the expense and tell us what you do all year?
