Our local council has come up with a winner - council tax - if you own an
empty house you used to get a rebate of 50%. Not any more, if your house
is now empty for 2 years you now pay 150% council tax. So, you own the
house, it has f-all to do with the council (IMO), you are using far less
services, bin collections etc but it costs you 150% ? C'mon. I'm
wondering which way to go on this, it can't be legal, shirley?


no, it's not your local council's idea. It came from Westminster and has to
be implemented by the your Council.
