Campaigners hand across petition
5:35pm Friday 12th March 2010
A PETITION against spiralling council charges has been handed in to Sedgemoor District Council by disgruntled Bridgwater neighbours.
Protestors from the West Street area of town handed in more than 70 signatures to councillors, after hitting out at an increase in caretaking charges by Homes in Sedgemoor, which manages council houses for the authority.
The council told the Mercury the new sums reflected the cost of providing the service.
