It’s so much cheaper, isn’t it?

Householders wanting to live in Gordon Brown’s pioneering eco-towns face service charges of more than £500 a year on top of their annual council tax bill.

Developers in several of the 13 proposed sites are planning to levy annual charges for subsidised bus travel and management costs to be paid to a local community trust.

So much cheaper that you have to pay extra for it!

    Sounds a bit like LVT to me.

    “planning to levy annual charges for subsidised bus travel…”

    Um, what’s the point of subsidised travel if the one’s receiving the benefit are the ones doing the subsidising.
