As we begin our third year of campaigning for fairer property taxes, much has changed. We began by campaigning a Boris Johnson-led Government with a gigantic majority that represented constituencies that had not voted Conservative in generations. We now have a new Government that is just about hanging in there while Labour surge in the polls and a general election on the horizon in 2024.
This means we need to alter our approach too. The power to create change is no longer held solely by Conservative MPs. Ahead of the next election, we must create a consensus that Council Tax is unfair and needs to be urgently replaced before millions more are plunged into debt as they seek to manage rising prices and household bills.
To do this, we’ve launched our Local Campaigning Pack – a guide for local residents, Councillors, MPs and parliamentary candidates, outlining how they can create local groups to push for a fairer system that benefits the majority, not millionaires and billionaires in London.
What does the pack include?
For local residents:
- How to set-up a local Fairer Share campaign group
- Tool to write to your MP
- Example social media posts
For Councillors:
- How to set-up a local Fairer Share campaign group
- Submitting a motion at a council meeting
- Announcing support for Fairer Share and the Proportional Property Tax
- Example social media posts and support cards
For MPs and candidates:
- Announcing support for Fairer Share and the Proportional Property Tax
- Example social media posts and support cards
- Contacting Fairer Share for support
We’ve already seen the success local campaign groups can have, such as in Hartlepool where local Fairer Share campaigners managed to gain the support of the local Council and the local MP, Jill Mortimer.
If this can be replicated, then together, we can build the type of momentum political parties cannot ignore heading into a General Election. But we need your help!
