Council Tax Reductions
For people on the lowest incomes, automatic Council Tax Reductions are awarded to support them through the winter period. If you are affected by these reductions, you will be contacted by the Council Tax team at the Council.
If you are having difficulty making payments, please contact the Council as soon as possible.
The Council Tax team will be able to offer you advice to help you to manage your payments or claim a reduction, discount or exemption on your bill.
