To be fair... It isn't untrue for the most part, IN GENERAL people in higher council tax bands are going to have higher household income and can probably afford the CURRENT increases. There will obviously be exceptions so yes I think there should be an appeals/discretionary process for those whose CT band doesn't match their income reality.

However.

IMO they should rethink Council Tax altogether.


Also it still doesn't help the lowest income families because they will be on 100% Council tax benefit already. So a council tax cut saves them... Zero...
