Once again, we are pressed with a large rise in council tax, the main reason being the cost of waste disposal.
I cannot believe Sita, a large company operating throughout Britain, would price itself so it lost £2 million a year just to get a contract for Brighton and Hove. This is what I understand is being said by the so-called professionals who run our city's finances.
I agree there has been a vast improvement in some areas since waste disposal has gone back to Brighton and Hove City Council. But surely the council is non-profit making so shouldn't we be looking at less tax, not more?
