I`m pretty much the same mate, in Band C, but our house is pretty much worth double what the council tax band says it should be in.

( It was correct when we moved in twenty odd years ago, but as you know the house prices in certain areas have gone nuts in that time )
Yeah.. My house has doubled in price in 8 years.. Shocking really..
 
Sorry, no general news area to put this breaking news. Sara Sharifs father and step mother guilty of her murder. "25 broken bones in 6 weeks and a brain injury". This little girl was subject to a lifetime of horrific violence. And then her little body simply couldn't take any more and she died. I'm all for rehabilitation and recovery because society cannot be as blood thirsty as some would like it to be in terms of reprisal. But the "man" in question, I am leaning towards whichever wing he ends up on beating him very severely past the point of life changing injuries.

A very cruel and very wicked couple of bullies, Surrey social services not covered in glory with this case either.

 
£17 for a 12 pack of 440ml Guinness. (supermarkets)

Also...


Could this engineered shortage and faux outrage see Guinness be the first pint in town to hit £10 a pint?

I saw headlines and avoided the story knowing it would break my heart

Setting out to hurt a kid, the absolute lowest

It's gotten to me as well.
she's suffered 11 fractures to her spine and her little hands had been broken, I suspect from when she's been cowering and trying to cover up.
Seems there will be a new focus on home schooled kids and social services. iirc 485 children killed in 2023-24. Turns out the animal that is her dad has a bit of previous with the law as well. The dad and step mum have blamed one another in court. We're back at baby P again. Rip little Sara.

No shortage of it over here but yet one Belfast publican is claiming he may be forced to go to £10 a pint.

Yeah right.

Absolutely tragic reading that story. So many failed opportunities to intervene missed.

It needs a serious review to look at why those opportunities were missed and a serious look at what measures can be taken to stop homeschooling where there are identified concerns.
 
If they wanna raise money then a quick change to council tax would sort that. Any property sold, the new council tax is 1% of the property value.. I think thats fair. If you can afford to buy a £5 million house then you can afford £50k a year in council tax..

I can see the logic when there are massive discrepancies between councils. Personally I'd like to see a much more heavily regulated letting/rental market as well with price controls and further financial costs on second home ownership - especially with the rise in holiday lets.
