LOCAL authority chiefs have a list of 4,477 postcodes with outstanding bills for one or more properties.

After a six-month fight with the local authority for answers, the P&J has reported the massive scale of council tax blackholes.

Council documents revealed a citywide debt of £99,681,594.94, with the largest sum owed by a single household in Aberdeen being £26,019.83.

In order to protect the identities of those with the biggest outstanding council tax bills, ACC have only revealed the first six digits of the postcode – ‘AB16 7T’ – which covers a wide area including Springhill Road, Manor Drive and Manor Avenue.

Aberdeen City Council was asked about the huge bill and what measures were being taken to claim back the money. A spokesman said: “We continue to pursue all debts for council tax using the legislation available to the council.”
