    No ours in Tidworth has increased yearly and the increase everytime is listed as the Parish council, it is collected by Wiltshire council but the Parish council has a part in that, that being the only part that has increased (it clearly shown in the booklet explaining how it breaks down).

    I'm very cynical of our parish council a read of their records/expenditure shows suspicion that they are as honest as a 3 pence coin.

    Along with the other recipient bodies of council tax budgets The Parish council submit their request to Wiltshire and they take the decision to set the charge based on the information provided. Have you challenged the treasurer of Tidworth Parish Council regarding your serious allegation? And if so what was there response?

    Are you sure your overall Council Tax payment has increased rather than the individual percentages of where it goes? Mine hasn't and I'm local to you

    Details here:

    Its been frozen for three years.
