Lib Dems Soft on those who refuse to pay Council Tax

The Liberal Democrats are apparently calling for Councils to let off people who don't pay their Council Tax. This I think is wrong. While Councils should (and in TDC's case do) try to work with and support residents who have got into financial difficulties to ensure that they can pay off any arrears in a manageable way, there has to be a sanction for the very small minority of taxpayers who refuse to pay or refuse to talk to the council or about why they cannot pay. It is not fair to the vast majority who pay in full and on time, not to chase up people who do not do so.
