Consultation on proposed changes to Council Tax Support

Our Council Tax support scheme helps people on low income by reducing the amount of Council Tax they have to pay.

We are looking to change the scheme so that residents who receive Council Tax support can be more certain as to the amount of Council Tax they need to pay and reduce the number of times we alter the amount of Council Tax support.

Comments were received by Friday 9 November 2018. These comments are being reviewed and the outcome will be published once a decision has been made. 

Proposals to increase Council tax on empty homes

You may be aware that the government recently announced that they intended to give local authorities powers to charge higher council tax premiums on homes that have been left empty for more than two years.

In the coming months, Councillors will be asked to decide if they wish to implement the higher charges. If you wish to provide any feedback on this to aid the decision, please complete this survey.

Our survey is now closed and we are reviewing your feedback as part of producing our final Business Plan.

Draft Greater Cambridge housing strategy

We are currently working with Cambridge City Council on a draft housing strategy for the Greater Cambridge area for the next five years.

The draft document details how the two Councils will aim to meet housing challenges for the next five years. It is a collaborative document to reflect the linked economy and housing market across the areas.

A public consultation was held until Friday 25 January 2019 to help residents have their say, provide them with the opportunity to shape and influence the draft strategy before it is finalised next year.

You can read the draft strategy here.
