To our Prime Minister @andyburnham I have an idea i want to share with you! The “Earn Your Council Tax Back” Scheme! It ain’t a benefit. It’s a chance for people to earn a few more quid each year while making their home towns better and nicer. Here is how I think it will work. Every single council has jobs that never seem to get done. I walked round Romford and noticed the bits that was lovely when I was a boy have become really run down. Things people can do:- Picking litter. Painting railings. Cleaning graffiti. Planting flowers. Looking after parks. Repairing potholes. Helping elderly neighbours with shopping. Volunteering at community events. Organise walks. Etc. Anyone over 18 can sign up through the app. Let’s call it The Bosh Back ya Council Tax Scheme App 🤣 People on the app can takes pictures or say what needs doing and you can tell the app once you’ve done what needs doing. Then once you complete a job for ya community in ya area, you earn credits. Then those credits come off ya Council Tax bill every month. Because I honestly hate paying council tax, like everyone else does! Imagine a family getting back an extra £1200 a year just by spending a couple of hours here and there improving where they live. The benefits are proper aswell: Reddies back in people pockets. The roads n streets will be cleaner People will start taking pride in there area agen. Lower council costs because residents are doing the simple jobs. It’s good for peoples mental health as they can get out and do things and meet people from the community. Young people gain will get work experience and learn skills. What do you think? And I would like to help do it please. It will be very good for local areas. I’m sure people wud love doing it and we can be proud of where we live. Bosh❤️
