THE Leader of Wirral Council, Cllr Jeff Green, said last night : “Have these people given any thought to what happens to the likes of Sure Start, public libraries or other services that people depend on?
“Not many people like paying tax, but we accept the need for it.
“I am disappointed that this case has been adjourned, but in the light of the events that took place, understand the court’s decision.
“However, before anyone else considers not paying their Council Tax, let me assure everyone that Wirral Council is stepping up its activity to ensure that everyone pays their fair share. Nobody is above the law.”
Confirming that arrests had been made, Merseyside Police said in a statement: “Officers are committed to facilitating peaceful protests but will not tolerate criminal behaviour, disorder or anti-social behaviour during any demonstrations within Merseyside.”
