What do we pay our council tax for? It's an out dated service much like the BBC t.v licence,example police are now privatised yet we're still paying. Reffuse service? No that's been cut to fortnightly/monthly yet they take things away from ilkley, Angela Rayner,seems to have forgotten her roots of I air quote raising her child on her own and struggling)yet she has allowed a hogher c,tax raise in a poorer areas (bradford ward).i will be challenging this by writing to miss fancy pants.Also what I ask what about the folk on their own when the single person council tax gets cut.? Are they going to end out on the streets and have the illigale immigrants take their homes.because that is happening .They closed the local tip,now theres fly tipping.flytipping encourage rats.they waste money whilst tighting the thumb screws for more money.i for one have had enough,it's about time ilkley refused to pay their council tax for services that have been taken away.and the council need to be held accountable to where our money is going,an itemised list as it were.who ever is incharge of the purse strings Im Betting they do not live in the bradford ward.rant over

And what about this - "Violence and organised crime costs Bradford £406 million a year, new report reveals" - https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/24870619.violence-organised-crime-costs-bradford-406-million-year/ - Incompetence is putting it mildly.

Bit odd to include the 20mph zone and speed bumps in a list of Bradford Council's "incompetence" when this was an Ilkley Town Council initiative
