Important information

Following the Government’s instructions please do not attend the One Stop Shop at the Guildhall for Council Tax, Benefits or Business Rates matters.

If you need to contact us please do so by e-mail or by using one of the online forms. We will respond as soon as we are able.

Thank you for your understanding at this difficult time.

When making a claim online for housing benefit or council tax reduction you may be asked to bring an original document to the council offices for verification.

Please note that in view of the current national situation and until further notice we will be able to accept copies of documents by e-mail subject to the original documents being presented at a later date.  

Copies of your documents may be e-mailed to us at [email protected]
