[@rrstows3522]

Durham council is run by the Tories with independence councilers in tow .,who vote with them no matter what. Council tax up by max, cuts to services,and money only wasted on ego trip vanity projects. But unfortunately our elections are not till next may

Same old rhetoric from Sunak about delivering for the people when they are failing the people up and down the country and the voting results are reflecting that. He needs to resign.

[@THEWARRIORSMIND.]

Keeping council tax low. And offering great services. What a joker. The bins don't even get emptied in some town centers. And the streets don't even get swept. Some backstreets look like a tip in a jungle. Old Sofas and fridges in amongst 10 foot weeds. Uk is the highest taxed 3rd world country in the world

Hence that’s why all the millionaires bugger off to a different country.

In what country is Sunak living ? He repeats his insane BS about lower Council tax and improved services any chance he gets, my Conservative council raised Council tax, cut services and there may be cuts to Police numbers. They held a consultation about changing and introducing car parking charges, 97% of the responses were against the ideas, but they imposed them any way. The failed asylum seeker wasn't deported he volunteered for £3,000 plus free board & lodging for a year AND didn't come by small boat. His £900 figure has been shot down by experts, but, as a working pensioner guess how much I get ?

I was a floating voter - not apathetic but undecided because there are a few areas I agree with the Tories on. But their cynical, callous and dishonest war on the disabled and unemployed masquerading as 'helping people' was a turning point.
