Council Tax new contact initiative

We have launched a new initiative to support residents who are behind on their Council Tax payments. 

If you are in arrears, you may receive a message from 07478724656. Anyone receiving a message from this number can be assured that it is genuine and they need have no concerns.

We want to make it easier for you to get support, understand your options, and avoid further recovery action. Depending on your response, we will:

  • discuss your circumstances and options
  • agree a solution
  • provide a link to make a payment

If you receive a message from this number, please reply or follow the instructions to get support.

This initiative is powered by artificial intelligence.
