WHY is Wigan Council telling us how hard up it is and how much we need to save?
I received two identical council tax bills consisting of two A4 sheets with my new payments and if I register online I am entered into a free draw to win £1,000.
As well as this, there were two leaflets, one about transport and another about free or discount boilers and one 15-page leaflet about council tax.
Taking into consideration the cost of postage I don’t regard this as saving money – only wasting money.
How many other people in the borough have received duplicate bills or am I the only lucky one?
