We the undersigned call on Hackney Council to scrap its plans to raise the council tax paid by the poorest people in Hackney by up to 80%. This will plunge thousands of individuals and families into poverty and debt. We call on the Council to exempt the poorest people from Council Tax as Camden Council has done.
