The shortfall could be made up by a very modest increase in council tax. I really don't see the problem at all.

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

How about councils not mismanaging practically all of their budgets?

For everything that is important, we seem to see a suggestion that a small increase in council tax is needed for it - which I wouldn't mind so much if council tax allocation was a little fairer in the first place.

Well, I was amazed at how many issues of financial mismanagement at the council and national level [and moving money from this pot to that pot to cover up for messes] were discussed at just that one Governors meeting.

My council tax bill increase by about £50 this year, so I wouldn't have minded seeing £1 of that go towards equal pay for equal work for school meals, to be honest.
