Hello everyone

We are closing the petition now so it can be printed for presentation tomorrow evening at the Council meeting where there will be a vote on the differential rate rise. 

Fingers crossed we have spoken loud enough via the Petition, the council's share your thoughts process, emails to Council, emails to Councillors and the hundreds of comments via various local social media pages that a rate freeze means NO RATEPAYER should pay more than last year regardless of re-valuations of GRV.

From the Free dictionary: freeze, halt(noun) an interruption or temporary suspension of progress or movement

From the Cambridge dictionary: freeze money/property (verb) To freeze something such as pay or prices is to fix it at a particular level and not allow any increases.
