LETTER: Paying extra would set a precedent
This does not mean that I do not think the police need more money, but it would set a precedent.
If it is only £12 this year it would be easy for it to be done year after year and also the council would still want an increase. But I suppose as he has been given the power to raise the police section of the council tax, he will do it anyway.
