It is totally unfair that the Budget will announce more money for Local Councils by abolishing the single person’s allowance. 

Single occupants should actually get 50 per cent tax reduction.

Why should there be a tax on living as a widow, or a single person with a child or a poor pensioner?

There is a case to answer which if ignored could result in voting out the Local Council.
