Letters / Leading the charge?

Commenting on proposed increases to council house rent, council tax, national insurance, energy, fuel and inflation you have quoted Cllr Ryan Thomson as saying: “This is not sustainable, affordable or acceptable.”

As a senior councillor I assume he will be leading the charge at the full council meeting to show the electorate what can be done locally and freeze rents and council tax?

For any prospective councillors these are the type of decisions you will be facing. Let’s see how the present incumbents vote.
