Smug in Somerset

Ha! Everyone else is going to have an increase in their Council Tax of 3.5%, but not here in Somerset.

That's because we have an "Excellent" council that announced more than half a billion pounds worth of savings in the second half of last year.

Down at the Dog & Duck we await the arrival of our Council Tax bills with quiet confidence this year, despite having spent all our money on christmas presents to help the economy.

Here in Somerset we call it "the Excellence dividend".
