MY council tax increase of over £3 per week means an immediate goodbye to my State Pension increase of £2.93.

Today I learn that travellers have apparently broken into the fenced and gated area in Dorcan Way, no doubt in celebration of possible legislation preventing them from being moved on.

Never mind, just pile the cost of cleaning up, damage repair, etc on next year's council tax bill.
