Stop council tax and water bills increasing above 5%

Water bills and council tax are being looked at to increase by more than 5% with most families already struggling. The councils waste money every year and water bill hikes are down to water companies lack of investing and paying shareholders instead of spending wisely

This petition was rejected on 27th Mar 2025 for not petitioning for a specific action

The Petition Committee commented:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about increases to water bills and, in some instances, decisions about council tax increases are not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.

Because they promised the people would not pay for water companies lack of investment. Council tax is supposed to rise in line with inflation yet again they are saying it can rise by 25%
