Yes. Approximately two weeks ago, I raised the issue of the payment system relating to the household charge. I have been contacted by many people seeking to discover where and how they can pay this charge. Advertisements relating to the charge have not appeared on local radio stations or in local newspapers. People have written cheques but they do not know where to send them. Will the Leader ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to put in place an advertising campaign in order to inform people how they can pay the household charge. Those who have decided to pay want to get on with doing so.
