The historic underfunding by central government of local councils is such an own-goal.
On a very basic level it affects quality of life, physical & mental health, civic pride and trust in politics & politicians.
Austerity doesn't work.
Just read about Wandsworth council raising council tax for band D by 94% which sounds a lot until you see that Gateshead Council tax for the same band is currently £2715.52. With a 94% rise, Wandsworth Band D would still pay £737 less next year than up north! #Fuming #CouncilTax #NorthSouthDivide
Wandsworth council tax is about to nearly double, from £1,020 to £1,978 for a typical home.
The finance chief says there's no other way. His opposite number disagrees.

1.99% rise in #CouncilTax in April, which they boasted about.
Maybe if they’d increased it at the same rate as virtually every other #ReformUK Ltd. Council, they wouldn’t be in this mess.
That’s what happens when you stick to your ideals without looking at the reality of your actions.
