Cornwall's council tax discount for second homes under threat

An interesting proposal from a group of Conservative and Independent councillors will be debated next week:

"....it would be unjust to allow second home concessions to continue; thus the Council resolves that; a) Group Leaders make representations, in writing, to the minister to remove the present second homes council tax discount and endorse the
use of the additional revenue for new and additional affordable homes..."

Second home owners currently enjoy a 10% discount.
