Tier 1 but weirdly I've just seen a statement issued from the local authority that they are requesting (didn't realise you could do that ....I had thought it was somewhat binary ) to go to tier 2 due the rate if increase and they want to restrict early.
As you can imagine its rather gone down like a lead balloon, seems a bit odd to me but it's not as if I can do much about it other than abide by the rules.
