Rejected petition Drive out inefficiencies before authorising major rises in council taxes.

We, the undersigned, demand that local authorities eliminate wasteful spending and improve staff efficiency before imposing any council tax increases. Taxpayers should not be expected to cover financial gaps caused by mismanagement, inefficiency, or laziness within local government.

More details

Only after a thorough review and clear evidence of cost-cutting efforts should the public be asked to contribute more. Accountability must come before additional taxation.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Decisions about Council Tax levels and how councils spend their money are matters for individual local authorities.

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