A COUPLE have lost their home for not paying their council tax.
Robert and Ann Morrison had their house in Ashford Way, Widnes, repossessed by Halton Council after failing to pay £2,173 in council tax.
A charging order was granted by St Helens County Court and an order for sale was obtained in November last year after the couple failed to clear their debt.
A spokesman for the council's revenues and benefits division said: "If you are having difficulty paying your council tax and need to discuss your situation, then please contact us before it gets to this level."
Call Halton Direct Link on 0151 907 8301 for information on payment.
