I didn't realise until this week that schools paid council rates. That seems illogical too.
Do you think that Schools should not have to pay Graham ?
I don't think so no. Mainly because of the way schools are funded in the first place. They're given money from the councils who then take it away? Schools always seem to be having funding issues. I only found out because it's been in the news that council rates are increasing by a lot this year and it was mentioned that schools will suffer. There should be certain places that don't pay - schools, NHS Hospitals, Fire Stations etc etc - I don't know if the others pay rates or not, but they shouldn't be if they are.
It's even more strange that private schools are exempt.
