Rejected petition Stop Northampton residents being financially punished for council spending error

Northampton residents are being forced to bail out the council, due to the council lending money to toxic projects.

As repayments have not materialised, residents of northampton will be burdened with the repayment. This is imorale.

Resudents may boycott council tax payments from next year.
