Urge the Council to reduce the proposed 55% increase to burial costs in Birmingham from April 2019

I am absolutely shocked at these idiosyncratic, distasteful, unfair and unsympathetic changes across the city. Birmingham City Council is an absolute joke and I believe the whole structure of this useless council should be placed on review. You cannot clean the streets without binmen walking off but you want to tax the recently bereaved? Money grabbing, selfish parts the lot of them. Are the projected income numbers from CAZ and PCN resulting from CAZ not good enough or something? People have been forced out their homes for another ridiculous attempt at High Speed rail, properties around the perimeter of CAZ were quickly purchased by these thieves to later capitalise on when people would want housing JUST outside the CAZ, business rates are increasing but business isn't, council tax is increasing to pay for illustrious but useless meetings and dinners with little to no progress, the roads are damaging peoples cars, contractors who you have back handed deals with are stretching the durations of the contract to get larger sums but not thinking of the local community suffering in traffic everyday, poor lighting in most places outside of CAZ, homeless are suffering exactly the same as they were 10 years ago, local councillors pushing their own nonsensical agendas such as Marium Khan who only turns up for photo opportunities or to justify stupid things no one cares about with sugar coated nonsense and attempting to connect with the "poor Muslim sisters who are suffering" even though she has not helped any of them and blatant demographic prejudice across the board just to name a few problems with this excuse of a Council and moronic Councillors. But in all of this I blame the people for supporting this trash and not educating themselves on what is really happening and instead participating in sharing stupid videos and posts, often insensitive to peoples families and also families who have had bereavements. People need to get off their phones or use them as a tool to widen

Pls look the poverty

Reduce burial cost

I feel they should keep price down I don't know why we should pay not not everyone can price more they should keep fix rate we have to leave some money for our loves one then pay more to or furneral cost this Isn't fair where will we get the money where you put prices up

It’s not fair Please no increase thanks

People in Birmingham can’t afford this kind of money

To expensive & not nice when your loved ones passed away and they have no money to afford. Country already facing all sort of criticism yet targeting the deseded

Any increase above inflation is not justified and must not be allowed. Placing greater burden and stress on families at a sad and in many cases a financial critical time is abhorrent and opportunistic

It’s alredy expensive please don’t make it worse.

Please reduced cost of burial

Not fair. Too much

I like to make a comment regarding Reducing not increasing.

You take enough from us as it is

Please don't increase the cost to such an extent that the bereaved families face even more difficulties at a time of severe emotional distress

Birmingham Council has already raised other tax and now this.. how do they justify the mismanagement of greed. Truly is becoming scandalous.

Please don't increase the cost to such an extent that the bereaved families face even more difficulties at a time of severe emotional distress.

It’s should resonable

N/a

I fully support this petition as the increased costs would be very unaffordable for the majority of people.

pay MPs less and then you won’t have to increase charges for burials!!!!!
