Rejected petition Stop proposed 6% rise in council tax

It's completely wrong to expect people to pay more when government already has billions but chooses to ask already struggling families

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Local councils, not the UK Government or Parliament, set the rates of council tax in their local area.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
