Of course, you are in the dark as to what's actually happening.
The house is occupied for a week every 5 or 6 weeks. The house is furnished and CH keeps the damp out.

I’m curious as to why you think you’re entitled not to pay towards the services provided by the council in the area where your house is located.
Note that excuses like ‘we don’t send our kids to school/use social services/libraries’ do not apply. The whole point of socialised services is we all pay for all of them regardless of need so we all have them when we need them regardless of means.
The long-settled democratic view in the UK is that we pay for local services via a charge related to property value. Second home exemptions are an anomaly whose time is long overdue.
