I recently posted a blog about North Norfolk Council and their intentions to send bailiffs to sequester property of ratepayers behind with their payments. There had been large rises in council tax and hundreds would not or could not pay their tax.
This time I have praise for South Norfolk Council, for being able to freeze their council tax. They were able to to do this despite spending more on re-cycling and on personal services. No services were cut. The council leader attributed their decision to the adoption of sound and sensible policies. Council tax in 12 years previously had risen by 285%.
There is a further difference between the two councils. Norfolk North Norfolk is still run by the Libdems, while South Norfolk was won back from the Libdems by the Conservatives in 2007. Could there be a greater contrast?
