What on earth is happening when Brighton and Hove City Council has the audacity to increase council tax again next year by up to 10 per cent (The Argus, December 10)?

As a former Labour supporter, I am totally dumbfounded to see, year on year, relentless council tax rises, with new cuts and freezes in services because of inadequate support from the Government allied to bad planning by council leaders.
