Another absolutely brilliant idea! - those of us who choose to live in the pleasant surroundings of South Ribble and endure the daily train commute to Manchester or Liverpool will now have to pay even more for the pleasure! Thank you S-Ribble Council!!! Nice of you to openly DISCUSS the idea with your commuting residents first. If we're not taxed to death directly, its via stealth tax, this is yet another! Obviously the council has seen an opening in the market to raise yet more money to pay for the councillors FAT salary increases (oh, I forgot, they were fair and inline with other councils). Maybe I should just pack up and move to the south after all !!!!!
