Council tax arrears
Dear Dorset County Council,
This is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act.
I would like to know if any serving councillors have council tax arrears. For each serving councillor that has council tax arrears, please provide the following information:
- The name of the serving councillor
- The total amount that they owe [and then, if possible, please provide a breakdown of that figure of how much they owe by financial year]
- If held, the reasons why the serving councillor has council tax arrears
- The action taken by the council to pursue the individual and the outcome
I would like to receive the information electronically. If you feel that a substantive response to this request is not possible within a reasonable time frame, or the request is too broad or too vague, I would be grateful if you could contact me and provide assistance as to how I could refine the request. Many thanks.
Yours faithfully,
Jenna Corderoy

Dear Ms Corderoy,
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request.
Dorset County Council does not hold this information, as we do not require
our Councillors to declare their payment of Council Tax.
You may wish to request this information from the District/Borough
Councils of Dorset as they are responsible for issuing the Council's
precept on our behalf. Please find attached an information request form
with the contact details for the FOI teams at each of these Councils.
If you are not completely satisfied with our response, please contact us
again, or write to the complaints officer at: Dorset County Council,
County Hall, Colliton Park, Dorchester, Dorset DT1 1XJ. Or you can follow
the complaints procedure on our website that can be found [1]here. If your
appeal is not resolved to your satisfaction, you have the right to apply
to the Information Commissioner for a decision.
Yours sincerely,
