"MAYOR'S BOOM AND BUST RISE TO COUNCIL TAX IS NOT DELIVERING FOR LONDON" - TUFFREY
December 12, 2006 1:02 PM
Commenting on the Mayor's announcement today that the 2007 precept is set to rise by 5.2% to an extra 29p per week for a Band D house, Liberal Democrat Leader on the London Assembly, Mike Tuffrey, said:
"This is another inflation busting increase from the Mayor whose precept will be far higher than in most well run London councils.
'Ken Livingstone has more than doubled his tax take since he came to office and it's time he learned to balance his budget. Londoners are fed up paying sky-high council taxes. We need a fair system based on people's ability to pay".
