	"description": "Bedford Borough Council ran a consultation questionnaire about changes to council tax support. Thanks to hundreds of locals responding as a result of a Green Party campaign, the result wasn&#x27;t what the Tory-run council wanted. On the crucial question 5, about putting new bills of hundreds of pounds on Bedford&#x27;s poorest living in smaller properties, more answered &#x27;disagree&#x27; than &#x27;agree&#x27;. The public rejected the proposals. Yet the council has been pressing ahead just as if the result was agreement. If a consultation means anything, when a result comes back that those proposing it don&#x27;t like, they must re-think their proposals. Immediately pressing ahead with exactly the same proposal shows bad faith and brings the idea of democratic consultation into disrepute. We&#x27;re calling on the council to respect the outcome and change the proposals to ones that don&#x27;t put big, unaffordable bills on the poorest. People who are already choosing between heating and eating shouldn&#x27;t be facing bills of hundreds of pounds a year that they can&#x27;t afford to pay.",
