(🧵) Our council tax system is broken. It’s time to change that.
In the budget, Rachel Reeves has the chance to build a fairer system that ensures dignity, not debt.

Council tax isn't just economically outdated, this broken system is hurting our communities.
We need council tax reform to counter the growing crisis in council tax debt that is affecting 4 million+ households.

Our member, Evie, has been mistreated by her landlord and threatened with eviction multiple time. But yesterday the bailiffs came for real.

ACORN members Kathryn and Tony were told they couldn't have just FOUR more days in their home before their new place was ready.
They were told a bailiff was coming to turf them out, but we were never going to let that happen.
There’s power in community, become a member today!

Today Awaab’s Law comes into effect. But across the country, damp and mouldy homes are plaguing private renters.
The government needs to announce the date for this law to be extended to the private sector immediately.

This is just rewarding bad behaviour after years of developers gaming the system to get out of building affordable housing.
We shouldn’t be watering down targets for affordable and social housing when we have so many on the waiting list.

After shutting down the bailiff conference, we’re now occupying Leeds City Hall. Leeds is one of the worst councils in the country for referrals to bailiffs over council tax debt.
