Title: Too many snouts in the trough
Post by: akarjl2 on May 19, 2020, 07: AM
Because the clowncil need to keep the trough full - we all know how many snouts have to be taken care of.

When you are of a certain IQ level and below + unemployable and suffering from visions there is not a lot else you can do to fund your lifestyle.

Maybe "Shame" needs bombarding with emails and messages?

If a resident receives benefits the council already subsidise that to the tune of an extra 8% which means the normal 20% is reduced to 12%.....The government gave all councils extra funding to support those on benefits which reduces their council tax even further, I think HBC have or will be implementing that scheme.

Might it not be wise to see what happens? The Northern Echo has always pretended Hartlepool doesn't exist so it not being mentioned in this article proves nothing yet.

It's happened, eligible residents have already received notification of the extra money, I think the initial letters were sent out last week......

I suspected if the money was being issued to all authorities they'd take a dim view of it being stashed in the municipal mattress. It was always gonna paid out.
