Government should step in to pay council tax in face of coronavirus threat
The Liberal Democrats are calling on Government to pick up the bill for council tax payments in order to ease the financial pressure people are facing as a result of the coronavirus.
According to the Liberal Democrats, their proposals would save residents in Haringey an average of almost £400 the next three months.
Government must provide Haringey funding to house all local rough sleepers
The Liberal Democrats have today called on the Government to “equip Haringey with the financial resources needed” to accommodate all rough sleepers locally.
The call comes in response to reports that the Government has written to local councils asking them to find homes for all rough sleepers by the weekend to protect them from the coronavirus outbreak.
