Hi there - we've just bought a Victorian terraced, and the carpet is in a dire state on the whole top floor. Underneath appears to be wood flooring (underflooring?), but in a pretty bad state and the floorboards are quite far apart, etc. Does anyone have a solid recommendation for a floor specialist who could come round and tell us whether it's best to restore the old floor, or give up and replace it. Ideally, they would obviously be able to do either at competitive rates. Thanks!

  Marveling at the chutzpah of Brexit supporters wanging on about a 4.99% increase in council tax which equates to circa £94/year for the average Band D, whereas it's conservatively estimated* that Brexit has cost each UK household circa £1k/year. At least with council tax there are actual tangible benefits e.g. weekly waste clearance. *Based on BoE report 2023...

  so to summarise, "Party X is stating that Council Y is financially inefficient and saving can be realised or efficiencies made, but when the exercise has been completed, it was found that no savings were achievable". I don't know if you are trying to say that has happened or that if it does happen, that is what would happen.
