Council Tax Freeze

Submitted by Innes Nelson on Sun, 03/14/2010 - 23:16

It is good to see that through the actions of Finance Minister John Swinney and the SNP administration in Edinburgh that the Council Tax in Inverclyde has been frozen at 0% for the third year running. This Council tax freeze is welcome news for thousands of pensioners and families throughout Inverclyde and Scotland.
Compare this to the previous 10 years from 1997 and 2007 where, under successive Labour governments in London and Labour/Lib Dem Executives in Edinburgh, the Council Tax rose by 58% in Inverclyde.

Many people have told us how thankful they are that in May 2007 Inverclyde and Scotland voted to elect an SNP Scottish Government, otherwise goodness knows what would have happened to our National Health Service in Scotland under another Labour/Lib Dem Government.
