The local Lib Dems have been trying to pretend that the elections on Thursday are a referendum on Council Tax. Accoridng to this BBC report their Leader cleartly disagrees with them - nothing new because the Lib Dems are well known for saying different things on different door steps.
But they are also wrong because the election on Thusrday is not about the Council tax system but about their stewardship of it that has led to us having the highest council tax in London. If they win on Thursday then Kingston residents are clearly happy paying the Lib Dems the massive amounts they do. If they win we also fear that by the time of the next elections Council tax at band D could be well over £2,000 and at at band F nearly £3,000. This is based on them having an average rise of 9% in the past four years.You can find out more about Kingston Council Tax rates by clicking here.

Based on the comments and manifestos on www.electionmemory.com (atmittedly a Lambeth only website) I'd say council tax was pretty low dowen on people's lists. Education, crime and housing seem much more important to voters.
