First they vilified block paving, blaming making parking spaces for the recent floods and that you will be taxed for concreting over your lawn . . Now they say lawns cause too much waste and will be taxed.

I give up .

Either that or I am going to burn down my town hall. Where do they get these idiots from?

I think sacking the idiots who come up with these ideas will save more money.

I was actually thinking of asking for a REDUCTION in my council tax since I have a big lawn and therefore if people get taxed for paving over to make parking I should recieve a similar rebate.

You could turn your lawn into a new car-park then run your own clamping agency and make a fortune, whilst also seeking a rebate on your council tax wink
