The long awaited revised council tax bills have at last arrived, and the one that we've seen for a band A property demands the standard instalment for November that has been in place since April, then approximately £23 less for December and January.
In these hard times (whoops! a Dickens reference again) wouldn't it have been nice to have evened out the payments so that people needing just that extra few quid ahead of the festive season could have laid their hands on it.
Never mind. Far better that it should languish in the borough coffers than spread a little joy among the area's residents.
