Paying by direct debit is the simplest and safest way to pay your account. Here's why:
  • You remain in control
  • You have a money back guarantee
  • it's paid monthly but you only sign one form and your Bank or Building Society does the rest
  • You can forget queues, cheques, stamps
  • it's a lot safer than cash
  • You will always be informed at least 10 days in advance of changes to amounts and payment dates
  • You are free to cancel at any time
Paying by direct debit also makes it cheaper and simpler for the council to administer, which benefits everyone in our community.
