Taxed for living near an open space

In this meeting we will debate the controversial “Special Expenses” taxation which Lewes District Council is adding to people’s Council Tax bills in the Town of Lewes.  Where the expense of looking after Lewes District Council open spaces was spread evenly between all council tax payers across the District, proximity to the open spaces is now the measure used to calculate the charge, so Lewes Town residents are going to be paying the whole bill for the spaces near their homes”  Ruth O’Keeffe the Independent Town, District and County Councilor will be joining us..
