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.
