Our payment system will be unavailable on Tuesday 20 May between 9:30am and 4:30pm for an essential upgrade. During this time, you cannot make payments on our website or over the phone. Payments by bank transfer, standing order and Direct Debit are unaffected.
Council telephone systems
We are moving to a new telephone system. This may cause some initial issues and disruption to calls while it is being set up. If you have any issues, you may wish to call back at another time. We appreciate your patience whilst the new system is implemented and apologise for any disruption that you may experience.
