I THINK Margaret Stabler (HAS, March 16) missed the point I was making.
While I feel very sorry for the litter around her home, and it was wonderful Councillor Nick Wallis came to pick it up, the point was the amount the council tax has increased along with councillor’s salaries – or perhaps I missed the issue of The Northern Echo where they said they were being reduced?
People are being made redundant, including those from Street Scene who did a really good job to keep our streets clean.
You are now being asked to volunteer to do their jobs while paying more council tax for the pleasure.
