Online payments

Due to essential works from Friday 3 April until Monday 6 April, we will be unable to take payments through the website for Council Tax, Business Rates, Rent, Housing Benefit Overpayments and Sundry Invoices. Payments can still be made by telephone, using our Automated Telephone Payment system by calling 0300 123 4000. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
