It's not just the people we allow in, I think money is sent back to their dependents through benefits as well - the European ones anyway. |

Rather than ask people on benefits to pay part of the council tax, it would be better to increase the rate for the higher bands – E & F for instance and increase the council tax on holiday/second homes rather than them being free or reduced when unoccupied. |

Much easier to delve into the Millions invested by Councils as Emergency Funds,The emergency is now,and the money belongs to the Taxpayer,Not the Loonies who run the Councils.**M** |

I am unclear if people are going to lose part of their benefit even if they want to downsize yet there are no smaller places available? |

the bedroom tax only applies to those in work and between the ages of 16 and 61. |

I think it very wrong that they have set the age of the child at 10. Actually I think it wrong that they expect any child above toddler age to share a room with parents, to me it is not healthy, but what do I know? |

And next we will hear there is a shortage of foster care. Ridiculous legislation and one that will certainly lose votes. |
