TOMMY SHERIDAN was fronting a stall in Glasgow city centre today in a bid to get support for a replacement for council tax. The Scottish Socialist Party leader is touring the country urging the public to give its views on dumping the tax and putting one based on income in its place. He was in Argyle Street, encouraging people to take part in the consultation process for legislation which would introduce a replacement. The SSP wants a Scottish Service Tax - a graduated tax which Mr Sheridan claims would save low-income households up to £30 a week. The consultation on his Abolition of Council Tax (Scotland) Bill runs until October 8, with the draft Bill expected a month later.
