An online poll by Prudhoe Liberal Democrats has come out against Council Tax. 75% of respondents felt it was an unfair tax, with only 17% feeling it was fair. "This poll backs our campaign to replace council tax with a fairer tax that does not hit lower and middle income families so hard" commented Cllr Neil Bradbury. With the forthcoming revaluation of council tax likely to push up many peoples bills, now is the time for the Labour government to act and replace Council tax with a fairer alternative. 1st August 2005 |

Council tax is now the most unpopular tax in Britain today - because it's the most unfair tax and isn't based on a person's ability to pay. For Liberal Democrats, the only credible answer is to scrap council tax completely, and replace it with a tax related to ability to pay - a local income tax. Tynedale Lib Dems Lead Local Fight We believe that Council Tax is an unfair tax as it hits the low and middle income earners. Tynedale Liberal Democrats put a motion to Tynedale Council calling for the council to support a move to a fairer local income tax. Unfortunately the ruling Tories and Labour councillors thought no change a better option, so the motion was lost. Cllr Donna Bradbury commented "It is still Liberal Democrat policy to replace council Tax with a fairer local income tax. We will continue to push the case and thank people for their support" 10 February 2005
