Always a problem with Councils, regardless of how well or not they're run. Particularly when you factor in inflation and an aging and increasingly unhealthy population, etc.

They provide services that people need and want, but no-one wants pay the taxes that would fund them.

"That's a great idea, but I don't want to pay for it. Someone else can be taxed for the revenue instead." sums up the whole problem with funding UK public services.
