For decades the Residents' Associations have raised our council tax every single year. That is all about to change. Not because the RAs have seen the error of their ways, but because the Conservatives in government have delivered on their manifesto promise to make council tax freezes available across the country. This is why Epsom & Ewell residents will see no increase in their council tax over the next year.
In recent council meetings RA councillors have been so critical of the coalition government that one would imagine they would prefer to see Gordon Brown and the Labour Party back in power. Perhaps they should be grateful for the Conservatives being in government, otherwise the RAs would simply continue their tradition of forcing unattractive, unfair, unjustified and unpopular council tax increases upon Epsom & Ewell's already hard-pressed residents.
