I am a single pensioner living in a standard D band property, which means I get a 25 per cent discount on the total council tax.
Last autumn my state pension increased by a princely £13 per month.
My council tax has just gone up by £14 per month.
So that takes care of any extravagance I might have been planning with my new-found wealth, then!
