We have recently started issuing council tax and business rates bills and lots of customers are logging into their online accounts. A small number of customers have reported issues when trying to log in. We have raised this with our provider, who supplies online account services for councils nationwide. They have apologised and advised that the issue is due to a high volume of people logging into their council tax accounts at the same time across the country. If you experience problems logging in, please try again later and thank you for your understanding.

Updated calendars will be available soon, as we are adding the new food waste service.

Collections will continue the usual fortnightly pattern, with changes only over Christmas and New Year or during any service suspensions, which we will always communicate online. Thank you for your patience.
