Council to link benefits to behaviour

In the aftermath of last summer's riots, David Cameron announced plans to cut the benefits of those involved in looting but many felt it didn't go far enough.

After all, there's more than one way to work the system but now Westminster Council has decided to grasp the nettle and face down the problem of anti-social behaviour from those who receive council tax benefits. The council has warned its 23,000 benefits claimants that their handouts will be linked to their behaviour if it has its way.
