Claims that a quarter of council tax is going on gold-plated council pensions

A QUARTER of all council tax is going to meet the soaring cost of the gold-plated pensions of town hall workers, it was revealed yesterday

If this is true, is it a possible area in which the council could effect savings? (For the avoidance of doubt, this is a story in today's Daily Mail newspaper.)

Everything in that paper is manipulated hysterical bollocks.

Council Tax only amounts to a quarter of local councils' funding. Therefore only 7% of the budget is being spent on pensions.
