Tories inflict the largest council tax increase in the country on Swindon residents.
Local Tories have made consultation with residents into a sham - 99% of consultation responses on the creation of Parishes were against the proposal.
The result - a 10% 2017 local taxes increase - the largest in the country and way above the supposed trigger for a referendum.
Labour will ensure that it respects local democracy and would only increase taxes above Government limits if it is supported by a local referendum.
