Default WRF is non-adult social care?

why not then 'non police and crime and social care and roads and
highways and education and sitting in te town hall masturbating' then?


Because Police and Crime, District Council, and Parish Council are amounts charged on behalf of other authorities. The first two lines are your local council.

Your local council expenditure is split into Adult Social Care, and "Other", because Adult Social Care money is ring-fenced for that purpose and because your council is allowed to increase that part of the council tax by 3%, and the "Other" by 2%.

Also depending on your local councils arrangement the Adult Social Care might be a precept paid to another council eg if you are charged by a town council for your council tax but social care is a county council responsibility.

At least up here we have unitary authorities. They're still wasteful and incompetent, but there's only one of them to deal with.
