Guardian letter from Angela Rafferty QC and 57 others notes that significant numbers of people are being unlawfully imprisoned for non-payment of council tax, and calls for the practice to be abolished.

edit- I believe the case referred to in the letter is Woolcock [2018] EWHC 17 (Admin) (and here’s the rightsnet summary)
