Photo Gallery: Rate capping dispute 1984-86
Many of these photos are taken from the pamphlet “He was only the District Auditor, but…” which was published in 1986 to raise money to pay for the fines imposed on 31 Lambeth councillors who defied rate capping the year before.
The photos from the pamphlet were taken by NALGO member Dave Stewart.
