Road tax bill out of the blue

[my way]

Never mind Mr Scunner. Harsh realities I suppose!

[Scunner]

I'm not entirely sure there's much reality over there

Scouser2swife,
It is so nice to talk with someone on the same wavelength who actually lives here and understands the Turkish mentality. Someone who feels, as I, that every where I go, I feel as though I am being lined up for a scam. There will be those who will say why do you stay. Thankfully, most of the closest Turkish people to me agree with me make it a pleasure being here and of course advise me.

Does Mr Scunner still live here?

I live here for the simple reason that my hubby and I could not afford to live comfortably in the U.K.In England our council tax was £100 per month, our Water rates were £40, gas & electric and coal was £220, add on the mortgage, car tax, petrol,Tv licence, telephone and food and we were using savings just to survive. Our pensions stretch further here and give us some lifestyle that we deserve after working hard most of our lives, not that we live the high life of course
The other plus side is that the majority of Turks are good people.There are some just out to make money from you, but I have learned (by experience) who to trust.

Regarding this one off road tax! I have an apartment in hisaronu, so will I be liable. Any information would be helpful.

Still seems like good value to me, a couple of hundred quid to get a better road. I've probably saved that in pool chemicals and shoes, the dust from the dirt road always blew into my pool and my shoes were knackered all of the time. If this is a one off payment then it is very good value and I love having my new road.

I think that what everyone is saying is that if everyone is paying then we are happy to do that. It is the differing amounts being asked. The fact that we do not know who is paying and who isn't and the state of the roads now in some cases are worse than when they were first done. Why is the price different for block paving and tarmac? Has no one got the opinion of some of their Turkish neighbours on this issue?. Maybe someone in charge at the Beledye could issue an official statement until the bills are sent out.
