If you're finding it hard to pay your Council Tax you are not alone. Each year the council deals with enquiries from many people who find it hard to pay their bill.

The most important thing you can do is to tell us. We will help you where we can by:

  • Reducing what you need to pay by seeing if you qualify for discounts, exemptions, and benefits
  • Agreeing an affordable payment arrangement
  • Providing access to welfare support, welfare rights and advice.

If you try to ignore the situation it will only get worse.
