I have only recently discovered the above consultation is taking place. If you live in Scotland and pay Council Tax, this will affect you. I knew nothing about it until a Facebook post from my local council. Given this will affect the whole population of Scotland. I would have thought it may have appeared in national news. You only have until 30 January 2026, to complete the consultation document online. consult.gov.scot/local-government-and-communities/the-future-of-council-tax-in-scotland/?fbclid=IwdGRjcAPRRpJjbGNrA88kAGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHgz1Fu0S9HikdLKTe6TrUCaBc6TcYBO0tA04KgdhubUzpU153QwhCl3c631q_aem_qTTkhq0Dh6ne-_Mo9vE0fA

Oldfrill, you asked for it. You could have said you disagreed without having to post a sarcastic comment. I only posted this to give people a chance to complete the consultation. This is why I left Gransnet previously, due to people on here and their total snide remarks and then go on to play the victim when they get a reaction they don't like. If you don't like what I post, feel free to ignore. You don't feel the consultation was important, that's fine.

Try taking your own advice.

I think public consultations can be very important to the governing process but only if promoted widely and fairly (in the questions asked and distribution).

Nuance is lost in text so if you interpreted my contributions as sarcastic maybe be aware of any inherent bias you hold.
