Direct Debit

If you pay your council tax by Direct Debit you can choose to make payment on either the 7^th, 14^th, 21^st or 28^th of the month. This provides a degree of flexibility as to when the monthly payment of council tax is made.

Direct debit is an effective and easy way to pay your regular bills, as it is all done automatically by your bank. Setting up your direct debit could not be easier. We can set it up over the telephone, as follows:
