An eight per cent cut may be inconvenient for some people and could be difficult for others, but for people who most need our support through council tax credit, it is critical: Any new demand causes further stress both on their budget and their wellbeing.
This consultation lasts until November 2, and I would urge everyone to contact the council and say that this is unacceptable.
