Optional services should include but not limited to, anything religious such as local church's, garden waste collection and road repairs these are things that matter to people we want to see the effects of handing over our hard earned cash to things that matter to us if we continue to be forced to pay this tax then at least use it to improve our lives and not line the pockets of politicians furthermore if the tax was better handled then more people would be willing to pay it
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Local rates of council tax are decided by local councils.
Local emergency services including the police, fire and ambulance services receive money from central government, not just from council tax.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
