I READ with interest the article on the increase in Council Tax sought by Malvern Town Council (Malvern Gazette & Ledbury Reporter, January 12). Why am I not surprised at the size of the increase?
Malvern Town Council has ideas well above its station in the life of local government. The appalling amount of money being spent on prestige offices is a disgrace. The Christmas lights are a joke. What does it do that MHDC did not?
It is a glorified parish council and it would do well to remember that.
I am in total agreement with those residents who would be happy to see this unnecessary layer of local government removed.
