Councillors in Buckinghamshire have been heavily criticised for not paying their council tax on time after a Freedom of Information request found reminders have been sent to 13 councillors.
The Bucks Herald report:
In the past two financial years, 13 reminders have been sent to four district councillors for unpaid bills, a Freedom of Information request to Aylesbury Vale District Council has revealed.
The council would not name those affected for data protection reasons, but Councillor Phil Yerby, Conservative, admitted he had received reminders.
He said: “I run a small business, therefore I don’t have a fixed income, which means I pay my council tax in chunks when I have it. I am very transparent about this.”
