Shropshire rural taxpayers pay more but get less
COUNCIL TAX payers in rural areas are being charged more than people living in cities – but getting less in return. COUNCIL TAX payers in rural areas are being charged more than people living in cities – but getting less in return. Experts say Shropshire Council receives £408 per head of population from the Government, 20 per cent less than the English average of £491. Telford & Wrekin Council gets £558, far less than the highest funded authority of Hackney, in London, which gets £1,194. Graham Biggs, chief executive of The Rural Services Network and former chief executive of South Shropshire District Council, said the chief concern of the RSN was the large difference in funding between many areas of the country. "We will always accept more grants will go to urban areas. But the gap in funding is simply far too big," he said.
