New bank may benefit the few WITH reference to the idea of reallocating some of the Colchester council taxpayers’ cash back to individuals in Colchester in the form of mortgages.
As I see it, the beneficiaries would be Colchester estate agents, builders and developers at the expense of council taxpayers and far more worthy and deserving causes.
It has long been clear the county council, which takes the lion’s share of Colchester’s council tax, does not listen to the town’s council taxpayers when it decides how to spend it.
