THE perpetrators of the council tax fiasco think it is all right for 200 honest people to have their good name blackened and be treated as criminals. (July 14).

As one of these 200 I demand a written apology and my files wiped from the computer. I am sure Mr Drury will be glad to pay the extra expense incurred out of his own pocket as a gesture of his regret.

It was his mistake so he should pay.
