WITH A growing population of elderly people, many with various forms of disabilities, what does the Tory controlled North Somerset Council do? It cuts services to the needy, just to introduce an eye-catching 1.9 per cent council tax rise which many people applauded, not thinking about the long term outcome. A case of 'live today, stuff tomorrow'.But we now know the reason for the small rise in council tax. The greedy councillors voted for obscene rises for themselves. Whilst I would say yes to a lesser figure I would also remind them basic pension and benefits are set at Government-controlled inflation figures.It's been said the extra money is needed to encourage the right calibre of councillor. What sort is that? Someone who will not listen to the community? Example - the Tropicana.P J MAIN - Axe Close Weston
