Tottenham Town Hall, 6pm
Join our protest outside Haringey Council’s big annual meeting, and demand they stop using bailiffs to collect council tax.
Our council passes a whopping 8,000 council tax debts a year onto bailiffs despite claiming to have an ethical debt policy. It’s a violent and humiliating way of dealing with people who are struggling - and an absolute bonanza for private bailiff companies.
We call on our borough follows the example of Hammersmith and Fulham Council, which has ceased using bailiffs and focused instead on working out affordable repayment plans with residents, and proven that it works. With the cost of living rocketing, change is more urgent than ever. Help us send a noisy message to our council that banning the banning the bailiffs can be done, and it must be done.
