I HAVE just studied my 2015/2016 council tax bill.

It was interesting to note that the amount paid to Worcestershire County Council is almost eight times that paid the Malvern Hills District Council.

Also concerning is that the amount paid to the police is 35 per cent higher than that precepted by Malvern Hills.

In fact, the Malvern Hills content of my tax bill is only about nine per cent.

So when we complain about services, we should remember where most of the money is going.
