In mid-October, over 4000 residents of London borough of Southwark were called to a mass court hearing over refusal to pay council tax. This was the largest of a number of mass hearings that have taken place across local authoirties in the UK after the universal council Tax benefit was removed in April. As a result, thousands of residents in Southwark with little or no income have since been required to pay an extra 15 percent of their council-tax bill. In the Studio with Jonathan Steel to discuss the implications of this move in Southwark, and the effects these changes are having on vulnerable people across the UK are Nick Golderberg of the debt advice charity Zaccheaus 2000, and Jon Glackin of the London Street Foodbank.
