“Conservative Policies are good news for Council Tax payers” says Streeter

Conservative candidate for South West Devon, Gary Streeter, says that concern over council tax levels is the biggest issue raised on the doorstep in this election campaign.

“I have been on hundreds of doorsteps, and voters are raising this issue again and again,” says Gary.

“Many people report that they are close to breaking point on council tax bills and are fearful that the revaluation of homes in England will push their council tax bills up even higher,“ says Gary Streeter. “The Conservative policy of scrapping the revaluation and saving people up to £300 a year is proving very popular.”

The Conservatives also propose a discount for pensioner households of up to £500.

“Council tax rises in recent years have particularly hurt those on fixed incomes, especially pensioners. The Conservative Party has listened and will help all pensioners to pay their bills,” says Mr Streeter.
