Absolutely disgraceful. Another rip off by Labour council. Are the likes of Standish, Wigan Lane, Highfield, Orrell etc not desirable places to live. Again the few paying for the majority. Why a vote. It is obvious we should be equal.

I am aware that Shevington is a desirable area and believe this is the reason. Everyone looks after their properties in there own way to achieve their goals of how they want to live. We are in Wigan and this should be adjusted correctly to be treated fairly with Wigan Council. We've already paid higher figures for our houses to be able to live in Shevington so why penalise us for doing so?

I feel that as I only receive the same services as everybody else in Wigan I should only be paying the same Council Tax

Never agreed with it. I’ve been paying the extra tax for 40 years. Been a rip off. Good luck

See no reason why we should be paying a premium. WE have the worst children's playground in the borough and it's out of bounds for as soon as it rains due to flooding. Yes the village is pretty, but that's down to volunteers who don't benefit from our extra taxes.

Ms Fletcher's comments are interesting. She is, of course, a Shevington Parish Councillor! Can she give more information about "crony contractors" "inflated prices" and examples of work carried out that has been paid for twice?

In my experience the Parish Council is corrupt and wastes tax payers monies to pay inflated prices to their crony contractors for work which tax payers have already paid to Wigan Council for that same work.
