Commenting on today’s news that council tax bills in Wales will rise by an average of more than twice that in England, Shadow Local Government Minister Darren Millar AM said:
“Yet again, people in Wales are suffering as a result in of Labour and Plaid’s corner cutting measures.
“Households in Wales will see their Council Tax bills by more than twice the amount of that in England at a time when they are already under significant financial pressure.
“The Labour-Plaid coalition is failing to support the most vulnerable in Wales.
“We have already confirmed that a Welsh Conservative Assembly Government would give every pensioner household in Wales would qualify for a 30% reduction in their council tax bills this year, next year and every year.
“We are committed to helping those who Labour and Plaid have failed.”
