Council taxes? Have one's say? With reference to my letter dated October 12, 2004, and Isabel Field's article in Tuesday's Advertiser about council tax.

Attending a meeting, voicing one's opinion will only fall on deaf ears, for councillors already have made their minds up.

Council taxes will increase.

When this happens I will put pen to paper once again and include my pension forecast along with my letter.

You will see that the pension I will be getting falls well short of the council tax now and as for the future?

When will this end?
