SIR – Once again we come to the yearly cuts and our leader of the Council proclaiming that no matter how hard the Government try to pressure him he is going to increase people’s council tax (once again).

How arrogant of our council leader – does he not realise that not everyone can afford to pay the yearly increase that the authority decide it should be implemented even though they don’t have to implement it?

It’s just a pity that the council leader is not selected by the people who have to pay the increases. My guess is that it would not be Councillor Green they would choose as leader.
