Gwynedd holiday home owner says council tax rise would infringe 'human rights'
Its not just a Welsh issue. The growth in ownership of holiday homes affects the more attractive parts of England and Scotland as well.
Many areas have seen houses priced out of the reach of locals who do not become part of the community. The houses lie empty,locals have to move away and local services and shops suffer from the depopulation.
If you can afford a six figure sum for your weekend bolthole then you can afford a few quid extra to support the local infrastructure.
