New government stats show residents of Weymouth and Portland shell out the most expensive council tax in the UK. It's claimed Band D residents in the area have to pay on average £1,726 a year. Contrast these sums with many multi-million homes in the capital.

The average Band D property council tax is just £678 in Westminster and not much more in Wandsworth (£687.42). So why are there such huge gaps between London and many part of the rest of the country?
