GO FIGURE… FERGO’S ‘NO EVICTIONS’ BEDROOM TAX PLEDGE NOT MATCHED BY OWN OFFICER’S STATEMENT

I can therefore announce today that the council will not evict any tenants for arrears they build up due to a genuine inability to pay [the bedroom tax] until the cross-party working group has had time to examine the issue and propose a sustainable way forward.

Staff [dealing with bedroom tax arrears] have been advised that it’s business as usual until the cross party group referred to in the statement have found a sustainable way forward.
