Latest TV licence evaders figures
TV Licensing revealed this week that more than 110 people were caught watching TV without a licence in Retford during 2012. This compares to more than 650 in Worksop, 340 in Gainsborough and 1,300 in Mansfield.
The average evasion rate remains at a low of just over five per cent, meaning almost 95 per cent of homes are correctly licensed.
Mark Whitehouse, TV Licensing spokesman for the East Midlands, said: “The data released shows evasion remains at historically low levels of approximately five per cent, with the overwhelming majority of people ensuring they are correctly licensed.”
