Polanski Commits to Paying Council Tax Owed on Houseboat
The Green Party leader clarified his stance on unresolved council tax liabilities tied to his residence on a houseboat in London.
Zack Polanski has confirmed his intention to settle any outstanding council tax owed to Waltham Forest borough. He expressed his reliance on business rates rather than council tax while living on the marina during his time in London. Despite this position, the council has not yet disclosed a final assessment or bill. Polanski emphasized his commitment to paying if found liable, noting that calculating the exact amount would be complex. Recent legal proceedings and GLA oversight have complicated the matter further. The party acknowledged Polanski’s apology and efforts to resolve any debt.
