Lib Dem Pays Fair as Opposition to Unjust Post Office Charge Continues
With residents receiving their new council tax bills for the year this month, Lib Dems on Bedford Borough Council are continuing to highlight the unfairness of the additional charge that is forced upon those who pay their bill at the post office. Lib Dem Borough Councillor Paul Whitehead, who spoke out against the Post Office charges when they were examined by the council's Corporate & Resource committee in December, has now taken action by cancelling his own direct debit to the council and paying by a "Help the Aged" credit card instead.
