Payments to the Council

Paying Bills and Invoices

There are two 24 hour services and many other payment services available.

For all payments except Business Rates, the Council accepts both debit and credit card payment. (American Express and Diners Card are NOT accepted)

Other payment methods

Direct Debit

Direct debit is the simplest way to pay. It is also cheaper for the Council to administer, which benefits everyone in our community.

Direct Debit does not give the Council unlimited access to your bank account and you are fully protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee.
