Apparantly so...
But the cheque is a tax rebate rather than a gyro

I wrote to my MP on friday telling him to get my council tax reduced or I'll vote for someone else.
Hilariously I'd never vote for him anyway.

Don't you lived in shared accomodation?
So your share can't be that much

I have a housemate, but as far as I can tell my entire street was misbanded.
So we're all C but should be B, 8 houses have sucessfully challenged but they never bothered to change the rest even though they are all two bed flats built at the same time, 4 identical flats in my building are changed, it's stupid.
p.s. it'll be about £18 a month difference for me, but I've been there two years so if it goes through I'll get £430 rebate.

Fair enough, isn't it upi to you as the resident to drive the rebanding?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 16 Apr 2012, 11:54, Reply)

well, yes.

Yes, but it seems ridiculous that when one residance in a building is rebanded then they don't do the lot.
Anyone who even just drove down the street would be able to spot it.

I think they are quicker to reband the lot if it goes up a band.
They're less keen to do so if their revenue is to go down.

That's what I was moaning about,
it should be about accurately collecting tax not gaining revenue.

Mine costs about £1400 a year
If I moved 1/4 of a mile east into the borough of Wandsworth it would be £606

£1200 for me, for a 2 bed flat... in milton keynes.
