Brent Council Council Tax Collection

A few days ago, someone sent me an allegation that Brent Council has an extremely poor rate of Council Tax collection.  I don't know how these rumours get started, but it is not true and worth correcting.

Certainly, the collection used to be far worse.  In 2002/3, it was 89.5%.  Since then it has risen every year, to 95.59% in 2010/11.  This puts us at number 20 of the 33 London authorities.

Not that good a collection rate - Brent are much nearer the bottom than the top

Didn't the Standard say there were over £3 million arrears?
