Warnock secures NPPR backing

Longford Town Council is to write to Environment Minister Phil Hogan, seeking clarification over the Non Principal Private Residence (NPPR) tax.

Cllr Gerry Warnock said he wanted confirmation the Government remained intent on scrapping the charge at the end of 2013.

The NPPR, as its name suggests, applies to residences only, and to those residences which are not occupied by the owner as their principal private residence.
