I don't think a BBC investigation was required to spot the fundamentally dishonest way that the council presented this year's council tax rise. The deception in their literature was so easy to spot it was insulting.As I understand it Putney News is a mouthpiece for the local Lib Dems. The report is inaccurate because the increase this year is not down solely to precepts from other bodies such as the GLA and the Conservators. If that was the case, it would be fair enough for the council to talk about a freeze because they have no control over these levies. However, they did increase the social care precept which they do control.
