£■ \ & Angry over bill
A CLITHEROE Jiouso- wife is angry over a bill for £27 which was sent to her
after council workmen spent a matter of minutes clearing out a drain at her property.
Mrs Maureen McKeown said: “What is our poll tax for? I think it is unfair that we can be charged this much for clearing out a domestic drain taking only 10 minutes’ work.
Wilson Street resident "My understanding is
that community charge lakes into account this type of service. All they did was use a plunger. My poll tax demand is for .£280 and my husband has his own to pay on top of that. “It is not surprising peo
ple are refusipg to pay the tax."

He added: “ Private “'Phis is a competitive
rale of £13.80 for each call out. In addition, £9.85 plus VAT is charged for each half-hour.”
