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:

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.
