Ours didn’t go up as much as we expected.
However, the local council have just introduced a £40 per year charge for garden waste despite promising this would not happen in their election manifesto! Not surprising that uptake has been very low at around 25% of households and most people are now just bunging it in their regular bin. |

"I get a 25% discount as a single person, if I was a couple I'd get 50% if we were sharing the bills. Hardly fair  "
Don't be silly. A married couple have to pay full wack. It's only if you are single that you you get a discount. |

Two adults working have one council tax bill to pay (full wack) ,if they share the bills then each of them are paying 50% of the full council tax bill ...get my drift |

Yes, get your drift. That's not how your post read though to me. The reality is, if you are single, as i am, you only get a 25% reduction.
If there are 6 people living in your house and you split the bills, it's even better.................but the council is still only giving you a 25% single reduction. |
