PICTURED: Simon Fell speaking at Westminster Hall South Cumbria MPs are pushing for reform of the Council Tax system following shocking findings by a county peer. Former MP Dale Campbell-Savours is spearheading a campaign calling for reform to the Council Tax laws after it emerged that people living in a £52million property in Westminster pay less than people in the average house in Cumbria. MPs in the area have both agreed that changes need to made. Furness MP Simon Fell said: “Lord Campbell-Savours is spot on - Council Tax is desperately unfair and regressive and it’s overdue reform. “This is why I am supporting the Fairer Share campaign to introduce a proportional property tax - this would see 96 per cent of people in Furness benefit with an average saving of £600.”
