Councils can axe jobs and merge departments only once in a budget cycle in order to write down debts.

The Council Tax freeze is a cynical vote buying strategy which must be rejected and local income tax, as an alternative, is likely to raise only 20% of revenue needs.
Council Tax must follow the rate of inflation, which may increase or reduce.The index of inflation is based on the cost input from thousands of items and therefore cannot be ignored.

Britannica will engage with reality!
