SO HERE we go again on the annual council tax increase merry-go-round.

May I draw your readers' attention to the fact that it is Burnley's Labour-led council that is responsible for wasting the money made available to them by council tax payers and that this is the reason that council tax bills will yet again be increased.

We are paying more and getting less. God help us if the next General Election is won by the Labour party, especially if its management of taxpayers' money is anything like the example set by Burnley.
