Band D Council tax

£1,894 Bedford
£1,872 North Herts
£1,850 Luton
£1,828 Stevenage
£1,809 St Albans
£1,392 Tower Hamlets
£1,236 Kensington and Chelsea

The Council says that Luton's council tax would be £370 more if it wasn't for the airport taking band D Luton to £2220.
Makes you wonder how they spend their money when everywhere else is below £1900. Ahh yes funding Carnivals and trying to get City status. Meanwhile in my part of Luton the library was shut, the community centre lost its funding, the playing fields and sports pavilion were closed.

Government cuts to Luton certainly played a major part but I have to wonder if the Government sees the Council with an income source why not cut back their own funding.
