The People's Assembly is calling protests across the country to mark the 'Bonfire of Austerity' tomorrow, November 5th.
There will be a demonstration outside
Willesden Magistrates Court at
9am tomorrow to protest at Labour controlled Brent Council's decisions
to issue courts summonses to some 12,000 people who have not paid their
Council Tax. These are often people already on low incomes who have had
to pay a portion of their Council Tax for the first time this year due
to changes in the Council Tax benefit system which is now administered
by local councils.
Cllr Muhammed Butt was on the London
section of Sunday Politics yesterday defending the Council's decision.
He said that Council officers will be present at court to help those who
have been summoned.
His appearance can be seen here at 53mins
