The Independent reports that eight Conservative-led local authorities are going to mount a joint campaign against council tax benefit changes.

They report that councils across North Yorkshire have met to discuss ways of thwarting the change. They say that they intend to write to local MPs to “highlight the unfairness of transferring responsibility… to local areas when each area has different demographics”.
