IN response to the story 'Councillors set to agree to 3.99 per cent council tax increase'.

My son has severe autism and there was no provision for him in this town so he spent 13 years at a school in Southport where he was a weekly boarder.

He now lives on the Wirral because there is still no provision for autism in this town. I make no apology that it has cost this council a small fortune, if they planned more than three years in advance and had provision here, my son would be closer to home.
