55% of delinquent taxpayers named in City Hall campaign move to settle debts

Following a campaign by the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) in which the names of delinquent taxpayers were made public, the entity has seen an increase in the number of persons coming forward to clear their debt, which includes 55% of those named.

Acting Town Clerk Sharon Harry-Munroe on Friday told this newspaper that the council last month embarked on a campaign where it published the names of delinquent rate payers in the daily newspapers.

She noted that since the campaign, it has seen persons both named and unnamed visiting the council to settle outstanding balances.
