Stop Labour's student tax - sign petition here http://newcastle-libdems.org.uk/en/petition
17 Feb 2016
It calls upon the Labour administration at Newcastle City Council to drop their proposal to apply business rates to student accommodation. Such a move will inevitably lead to rent rises, which will hit students from poor backgrounds hardest - in effect a regressive 'Student Tax'.
