WHAT IS LAND VALUE TAX AND WHY WOULD IT BE GOOD FOR BRITAIN?

Land Value Tax (LVT) is a levy on the unimproved value of land, it disregards the value of building, personal property and other improvements to real estate. LVT has been referred to as "the perfect tax" and the economic efficiency of a Land Value Tax has been known since the eighteenth century. LVT is a progressive tax in that the tax burden falls on titleholders in proportion to the value of locations, the ownership of which is highly correlated with overall wealth and income.

A Tribute to Alan Cotter.

Often when out campaigning, the conversation turns to the corruption and untrustworthiness of politicians. The story runs that they are all in it for themselves and take the voters for granted. How often do we all hear this? There are public servants which show that this is just not true. Not long ago, we lost Barbara Long (former Andover Town Council Mayor) who was a strong voice for the town. More recently Alan Cotter (former Andover Town Councillor and Labour leader) passed away. Despite being a political opponent, he was another great servant of Andover and the Constituency of North West Hampshire. Alan was a calm and unassuming man with a ready smile who always saw the best in people. Although a quiet man, he always spoke with authority and often forged consensus where there was none.
