West Sussex County Council should learn from other authorities following increase in council tax

Not only that, we’ll have to find another £24 to fund Sussex Police. There was a substantial increase last year but have we seen any benefit for that?
There has been no increase in visible policing – for example, vehicle offences such as using a mobile, not wearing a seat belt or faulty lighting still go unchecked.

West Sussex doesn’t appear to be very efficient and is applying one of the highest increases again, so perhaps it could learn from other local authorities.
Its website, ‘Love West Sussex’, is a misnomer as I believe most people actually don’t think very highly of the county council but unfortunately there is no alternative.
It really isn’t good enough for Louise Goldsmith and her cronies to expect the taxpayers to keep putting up with these significant rises in council tax.
