It is not just thousands of pensioners who are incensed at the council tax rises of Swindon council.
How are the citizens of Swindon meant to swallow these increases for yet another year when it is obvious that no substantial percentage of the increase is for our benefit, and only appears to be rewarding our councillors by way of increasing their personal allowances.
Is half a million pounds justifiable to spend on "councillors comforts and funding the mayor's activities"?
I think not.
Swindon council has been getting away with its poor treatment of the people whom they are meant to be serving, believing themselves to be irreproachable.
