Default My rent has gone up by 5%

(If public services includes the council then I'm in the right place)

Why... because the 5% increase will be going towards improving housing in the North of England.

I live in Surrey.

Any comments?

North of England is much worse off than the South, but that don't make it right.

Sorry yes I forgot, I know Wallington beg pardon. As someone living in the north I think I should pay you 10% for living in Surrey The Yorkshire Pennines are the best place on earth

If the Northeners saw where I lived they'd set up a charity.

The pie'n'mash appeal!

Seriously though, I live on a student loan. Why the hell should I pay to improve housing up North? Why the hell should council tenants and not homeowners pay to improve housing up north? I don't get it.

You shouldn't its a load of rubbish. they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. Another thing whatever they are doing with the extra money it sure isn't coming north, someone should be demanding proof f what they are using it for
