Vote
Is a 1.9% increase in Barrow Borough Council tax acceptable?
Yes (32%)
No (68%)
Total Vote Count 146
I am not even going to bother offering my views to this, as the NWEM cant be bothered with the Comments it gets, Unless your name is Captain Birdseye of course?


























Have your say
No itâs not acceptable in my opinion. Whilst the vast majority of councils in the country including Cumbria County Council! Have yet another council tax freeze Barrow impose the 1.9% rise (just under the 2% rise that would require us to vote on the rise may I add) this happened last year also. So while Barrow Borough Council makes yet another rise to us the Tax payers have services that are still being cut,
No doubt the extra money will be being put to good causes such as Bosses bonuses, Pay rises and pensions?
