    New figures today show that Labour's proposed Land Tax would mean average Council tax bill in Ashford would rise from £1362 to £4618.

      Replacing council tax with a revenue neutral land value tax would reduce bills for the majority and the average (mean) bill remains the same

        That's because all their spending is based on "a growing economy" something they've failed to deliver for 7 years!

        Hi Rob, spot on with page number! They will consider alternatives to council tax/biz rates but no commitment given: Green's being deceitful.

        There's a full discussion here, stressing that yes, the figures are from a lobbying campaign group, not Labour.https://fullfact.org/economy/labours-land-value-tax-will-you-have-sell-your-garden/ …

        Thanks for that, was aware it's committed to a consultation though I think we could agree it would quickly be moved to an actual policy??

        The devil's in the detail - hard to judge atm. As the link says, the ASI, IFS and Milton Friedman (of all people!) have been enthusiasts.

        These debates are important & rightly matter to people BUT Green's tweet suggests it's a given with real figures. That's just plain wrong.

        There are so many concrete and interesting arguments to make on both sides. Why resort to blatant manipulation? A real shame for us all.
