A DISABLED pensioner of 73 has been summoned to appear in court in October for non-payment


of poll tax. He has refused to pay


the £12 and £9 ex tra adjustment figures, which have been added to his bill over the last two years to cover, among other things, the cos t of poll tax


defaulters. Mr Alan Procter, of


Washbrook Close, Bar- row, has paid the £286 poll tax levied in the Whalley area, but feels he is under no obligation to pay the extra. His stand, however, has


resulted in a court sum­ mons, in which he is ordered to pay the £21 bill and £17 costs. He is one of 800 local people who have an outstanding balance on th e i r b i l l and have received summonses. Mr Proctor expressed
