Fancy flyers were distributed to all households stating that local property tax intake would fund X, Y and Z but as I have pointed out previously that has not been the case because LPT only replaced a stream of funding which previously existed in the form of general purpose grants. Those flyers were a precursor to the strategic communications unit. This irks me greatly.
