Response times for Council Tax

Christmas response times

Due to the holiday period, delays in response times may be experienced due to high volumes of contact. We apologise in advance if we exceed any expected response time but rest assured, we are working hard to ensure all time scales are met and match our high standards of customer care.

If any time limit is exceeded, we aim to be up to date with our response times by the end of January.

If your query becomes urgent, please contact us at your earliest convenience for further advice.
