Just written up an article on Wrexham Council’s proposed council tax and house rent increases for 2012/13. What do you make of the figures?
Last year 2012/13 Council Tax in Wrexham went up 2.69%, next year 2013/14 the increase will be 2.75%. A total of 5.44% over two years. Council Tax in England has been frozen for three years. Have we picked the short straw, cuts in services and a rise in Council Tax?

where in welsh guidelines does it say that there must be a rental increase of 5.4%? First question i would have asked.
I’d have also asked which government statistic was saying that inflation is at 6%!
In Jan 2012…
RPI was 3.9%
CPI was 3.6%In fact since 2000, neither inflation measure has been at 6% or above..
Reading these forums, if we didn’t move housing to a more effective and sustainable solution n 2004 … why don’t we do it now

Because the tenants said no. And it wouldn’t be certain rents would be lower.
