    Council tax complaint to cipfa

    My council special executive changed the application and processing of CT and NNDR accounts ( 2004 ) by the special executive arraignment.

    ( See table 1below )

    This change consisted of

    1.

    Changing the payment dates ( instead of the 30th of the month, they become due on the 1st of the month.) ( The only council that does not allow three payment dates within the month )
    2.

    Changing how fast they take court or baillif action ( 1 month instead of 6 months )
    3.

    Changing how they deal with ccounts after they have been sent to baillifs

    Before this change, the published rate was as low as 93%

    After this change the rate rose substantially to 98 %

    My complaint focus in how that 5% was achieved within the rest of the figures and the affect on the total amount of paid ( total money collect from working public ), the affect on the public ( costs ) and the ongoing affect on employment in the area over the five year

    No governance referendum will be held.
    The Leader of the Council will be appointed for a fixed term of four years but the Council will have the power to remove the Leader from office during the fixed term, by Resolution.
    The size of the Cabinet is likely to be no less than 7 and no more than 10 members, including the Leader, but the final decision will be taken by the Council following the elections in May 2011.
    The decision as to whether individual Cabinet members will have delegated powers to discharge any executive functions will be taken by the Council following the elections in May 2011.
    The decision as to whether individual ward members should be given any delegated powers to discharge in their wards will be taken by the Council following the elections in May
