I THANK my old sparring partner Councillor Stephen McCabe for his recent lengthy response to my question asking if his administration would cut council tax by the level they increased it to ensure that we don’t get a stealth hike next year.

Greenock Telegraph readers should be under no illusion.

Councillor McCabe has pulled wool over the eyes of the Scottish Government and has no intention of reversing Labour's 8.2 per cent hike to council tax to ensure that next year our council tax is the same as last year's.
