Sir, The Gazette and the council tax bill both hit the mat last week.

Witney Town Council is costing our family more than West Oxfordshire District Council. It is one of the most expensive parish or town council tax bills in the county.

The Gazette once again carries cryptic clues about the shambles at the council. Even the huge private-eye bill can't account for the high charge!

What's going on?

The people of Witney should be told.
