I WILL tell you why rent arrears are up (Bury Times, Feb 11).
Bury Council has closed so many payment offices that only the best payers will struggle to get to the few offices that are left.
Consequently the council are effectively saving money by putting all the burden of responsibility on to the good payers. I say re-open the closed offices and make life more pleasant for everyone.
