Second-home owners call for council rethink as tax soars by 300%

Little sympathy from the tyranny of the majority in the highlands, I know first hand this is what the locals demand and that absenteeism is destorying community fabric in many places. Personally, if you are in a property 5 months a year I have more sympathy to your plight, and pensioners paying council tax is insane in general. But you can't really argue with the majority here, they want you to sell up!
