At a time when street cleaning has been cut, bin strikes mean rubbish goes uncollected for weeks, and fly-tipping is on the rise, residents are now being charged just to keep their homes and communities safe from infestations!
This unfair tax is nothing more than another Labour stealth charge, punishing residents for the Labour Administration's own mismanagement. No one should have to pay extra to deal with a problem the Labour have caused and should be fixing!
While we have had a small victory in that Labour has now temporarily suspended the rat tax during the bin strikes, we are still calling for its permanent and immediate removal.
