There was, unsurprisingly perhaps, a spirited response to the news that Argyll and Bute Council is to raise council tax by three per cent.
Yvie-Yvonne Young asked: ‘Where does the council tax we pay at the moment actually go, never mind bloody hiking it up!! Council run services are at an all time low to a detriment of everyone’s health & wellbeing, young & old! Get rid of the buggers that are on the high salaries that do hee-haw, instead of penalising the front line workers who keep the wheels of industry turning!’
Campbell Reid suggested: ‘Get rid of all the fat cats and all the hangers on who don’t know what they are doing, then ask the people what is the reason they are so much in debt.’
