TV licence evaders caught in Lambeth
11:50am Thursday 6th August 2009 in
More than 1,000 people in Lambeth have been caught watching a television without a licence so far this year.
Between January and June this year, 1,295 people in the borough were caught out while 19,200 in London as a whole were found to be without a licence.
Joanna Pearce, TV Licensing spokesperson, said: “While evaders come from all income groups, we understand that in the current economic climate some people may find it difficult to pay their licence fee in one go. This is why we provide numerous ways to spread the cost.”
A colour TV Licence currently costs £142.50. Anyone not holding a TV Licence risks prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000.
