IN 2005, the housing tenants of Sedgefield Borough Council voted that the council keep their housing stock in-house.

We now see the council wasting tax payers' money again by carrying out the same exercise all over again.

Has the council been charging me a high council tax since 2005 so that it would have some money put to one side when the time came along to try the sell-off again?
