We're very lucky in Rochdale. It's gone up to 4.9% but they then knocked 2% off it.
00:05
So we're only on 2.99%. It must be one of the cheapest in the country I think.
00:11
So that doesn't worry me, no.
00:13
I agree with them if you get better facilities.
00:16
I think the councils are in such a state now, they're just spending money where it's not needed
00:20
and then they're short of money at the end of the year.
00:23
I'm lucky. I'm quite old so I'm doing okay.
00:26
But all of these rises, it's just killing the young people.
00:29
They can't get on the property ladder, interest rates are high and the council tax.
00:34
That's not going to help in any way at all.
00:37
Do you agree or disagree with the rises?
00:39
Absolutely disagree.
00:40
A lot. I'm going to be paying a lot for our council tax.
00:47
I disagree because there's nothing being done to the streets, the potholes, absolutely.
00:53
I've been on to the council about things that they're doing that are not needed.
