I don't think that Wandsworth gets a particularily good deal on its
government funding


Don't you? 82% of its expenditure is met by government funding, compared
with 49% in neighbouring Richmond. The level of subvention for
Wandsworth is as high as in much more clearly deprived boroughs such as
Tower Hamlets.

For that reason, my Council Tax on a small terraced house in the LB of
Richmond is over 2000 quid, while an identical house only metres away
pays Wandsworth under half of that.
