Due to essential maintenance, the following systems will be unavailable from 6.00pm on Monday 2 October until 8.00am on Tuesday 3 October: our online council tax, business rates and housing benefit services, and our welfare assistance form. You will also not be able to register to pay council tax online, make a change of address for council tax or cancel single person discount. You are still able to make a payment during this time. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Vacancy, Election and Referendum Notices


If a councillor vacancy becomes available in between County Council and parish elections, we hold a by-election to fill that vacancy. We also hold referendums for parish councils, for example on their neighbourhood plan.
