Council tax communication
The council is now sending e-mails, SMS messages and voice messages to residents who have missed a council tax payment. See our webpage for more information.
Universal Credit
Universal Credit supports people who are on a low income or out of work.
Rent
You should set up a direct debit or standing order to pay your rent direct to your landlord for a date straight after your Universal Credit goes into your bank.
In exceptional circumstances, you can ask that the housing element of your Universal Credit is paid directly to your landlord. You can do this by either telephoning the service centre or via your online journal.
