Do you need help with your Council Tax?

This year, in response to the cost-of-living crisis, we are also giving up to £100 off the bills of all existing households which are in receipt of means tested Council Tax reduction but are still required to pay some Council Tax.

The award will also be given to new claimants throughout the year, so make sure you submit a claim for Council Tax reduction support as soon as possible.

Prepare your home for next winter

With spring just around the corner, now is a good time to think about how to make your home more energy efficient to help keep your bills down next winter. Simple changes, like LED light bulbs, improving insulation and ventilation and checking
energy behaviours can make a big difference.

Lots of advice and help is available locally, including grants and financial support.

Mental health support

We understand that times are difficult, and you or a loved one may be feeling stressed, low or unable to stop worrying.

Reaching out and getting help is an important first step. There is a range of local mental health support available.
