Since the Liberal Democrats took control of neighboring Somerset Council in 2022, residents have faced tax rise after tax rise due to Lib Dem mismanagement. 

Now the Lib Dem's are planning to raise council tax by 11%, increasing the average Band D bill from £1,857 to £2,060, in a county that already has some of the highest council tax in the South West.

The Liberal Democrats now run Devon County Council too, having taken control last year. So the question is simple:

How long before Devon families are hit with the same Lib Dem tax rises?
