I AGREE entirely with D Hathaway's letter headlined Punishing Us (Mailbox, April 2), being over 70 years old myself and living in council tax band over D.

Why punish us older residents who need any saving possible, the same as people in bands A to D?

We are not all retired millionaires who should all be given equal discounts.

Shame on you, Wirral Council.
