We have recently changed our website to make it easier for you to pay for council services. Paying us via our website is convenient for you and also enables us to save money on administration and bank charges.
You are able to make a payment against your council housing rent online via the Make an online payment now link on this page.
Alternatively pay your council housing rent using one of the following methods:
By Direct Debit
A safe, quick and easy way to pay, with a full guarantee against errors, compared to other payment methods, paying by direct debit offers you the following advantages:
- Saves You Time – No more cheques to write, no more queuing to pay!
- Saves You Money – No more stamps to buy!
- Lower Administration Costs – By reducing handling costs you can help keep housing rent as low as possible!
- Gives You Peace Of Mind – Your bank/building society makes sure your bill is paid on time!
- Payment For Someone Else – e.g. an elderly relative
- Full Guarantee Against Errors – See the Direct Debit Guarantee via the link on this page.
