HOMES HIT BY £2K TAX BILL

Struggling families clobbered

- ISOBEL DICKINSON

HARD-UP families will be hit with £2,000 council tax bills from April, a study claims.

Just a third of areas currently pay around that figure, but all that is about to change as bills shoot up across the country.

The increase of up to 3% announced this week by local authorities will add to the pressure on hard-working families.
