I agree with Ken regarding policies.
However, I’m a bit confused as to what the stories actually relate to. They talk about rates but they also mentions charges. They do say it relates to water etc so is it actually user charges or access charges? If so then it isn’t about retrospective rating, it is about ensuring that users pay for what they use & according to the Councils adopted F&C’s. Also, could some of it relate to businesses being charged residential access charges rather than business?
