Current council tax is not fit for purpose, and this is not the way to save struggling councils. Having to raise council tax to tackle deficits rather than funding local councils properly.
Or they could properly fund councils by taxing the super wealthy.
But no, Labour will just leave it to council tax payers to foot the bill for years of Tory austerity instead of raising taxes on the mega rich and parasitic corporations.
