Last week, Brighton and Hove City Council revealed plans to raise council tax by 4.75%, which would trigger a £230,000 referendum.

Under new rules, any council wanting to raise taxes by more than 2% must put it to the vote - which has not yet been done by any other UK local authority. 

The vote would be open to all the city's275,000 residents. 

Do you think a referendum should be held? Or should the council stick to its original plans to raise taxes by 1.965?
