There are many ways to pay your council bills including direct
debit, standing order, online, in person, on the phone, by post or
in person.
You can pay
by..
Direct debit
You can set up a direct debit to a number of council bills:
Please note: Direct Debits are taken
on either the 2nd,15th or 28th of each month for
Council Tax, 1st of each month for Business Rates and 1st or 15th
of each month for Housing Rent. However, as your rent is due weekly
in advance, your direct debit payment must be paid in advance to
prevent your account falling into arrears. If this is acceptable,
please fill in the information and send the mandates to us
indicating your preferred payment date. As there will be a number
of weeks lead in time to the first payment, it is important you
continue to pay your weekly rent up to the first direct debit
payment.

business rates, council mortgages, council tenants' home
contents insurance, community charge and sundry
debts.
