Three Cornwall councillors deserve credit for volunteering the fact that they HAVE paid their council tax on time: Chris Ridgers, Scott Mann and Steve Double. Well done chaps. That still leaves 103 other members who have also paid their council tax on time, but whose status remains unclear.

An easier way to do this would be for the 17 late-payers to volunteer their identities. I'm hoping for guidance from the Information Commissioner, as to whether Cornwall Council should name the member who had to be taken to court before payment could be forced, later today.
