I READ with interest the article (Daily Echo, April 26) regarding the pensioners’ ten per cent council tax discount in Southampton.
I have volunteered in the community in Thornhill for many years and I know from talking to pensioners that many of them are only a few pounds over the limit for getting council tax benefit. The ten per cent discount is a great help to them.
I thought Labour and the Liberal Democrats were supposed to be the parties for the people? Well, this proves they’re not.
