Stop Clackmannanshire Council Unfair 13% Council Tax increase


Stop Clackmannanshire Council Unfair 13% Council Tax increase
The Issue
As residents of Clackmannanshire , we are facing an unprecedented and unjust council tax increase. Our local council has raised the council tax of 13%. This is a direct result of many years' financial mismanagement and poor decisions by Clackmannanshire Council. We, the hard-working citizens, are being asked to bear the burden of their mistakes.
we are the smallest council yet face the highest increase across Scotland. We’re facing a higher increase than Glasgow and Edinburgh and it’s not a financially viable increase when compared with other councils, especially those with wealthier constituents.
This issue is personal for every single resident in our county. It’s totally unjust that struggling families are having to foot the bill during a time where we are living through a cost of living crisis. We are on track for one of the highest (if not THE highest) council tax increases in all of Scotland . In return, we will receive a reducing level of service and more financial mismanagement from our local authority.
The council's increase isn't due to us citizens but rather their own actions. It is unacceptable that we should pay for their mistakes while they continue with business as usual. We urge you to join us in voicing our discontent against this unfair tax increase which only serves to punish
Please sign this petition today and let's send a clear message that we won't stand by while being unfairly taxed by Clackmannanshire Council!
