The Council needs to collect Council Tax to help us pay for the services that we provide to our
community.
If you experience difficulty in paying your Council Tax please contact us. We can look to
extend your payment arrangement to make it easier for you to pay, and assess your potential
entitlement to Council Tax Reduction (or Free School Meals if you have children) if you are on
a low income or social security benefits such as Universal Credit. We will keep you updated
of any information on financial support made available to assist during this difficult period.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ is committed to making services more user-friendly
and accessible.
As part of our on-going development programme we offer a range of payment methods for
Council Tax directly, and securely, to the Council.
