“THE earlier you apply in the month, the longer the delay in receiving a payment...”
A quote from Alice In Wonderland, perhaps?
No – official information from City of York Council regarding the repayment of Lendal Bridge fines. My own delay in repayment having reached more than seven weeks after applying on the first day, and having made several fruitless attempts to contact the council, I obtained this through my very helpful Independent councillor, Brian Watson, who sought an explanation on my behalf.
The reason for this incredible policy? “It is the most resource-efficient way”.
