takes recovery and enforcement of financial impositions very seriously and is working
to ensure that clamping down on defaulters is a continued priority nationwide and
remains committed to finding new ways to ensure impositions are paid and to trace
those who do not pay. This is why there has been a year on year increase in the total
amount of financial penalties collected over the last five years. The amount of money
collected has risen from £310m at the end of 2014/115 to a record of £381 million
at the end of 2015/16.</p>
