Letter: Left in the dark over council tax
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.IN HIS informative article on the council tax ('Disunited nations', Business, 28 February), Paul Gosling understates the difficulty in obtaining information, particularly for those living in the countryside. Like all householders, I received the Department of the Environment booklet, Council Tax: A Guide, in November. In early December I applied for four of the further information booklets. Two arrived after six weeks. However, the most relevant, How to Appeal and Transitional Reduction, have not arrived despite my asking my MP, Environment Minister David Maclean, to investigate the delay a month ago.
