Direct debit

Rates payment by direct debit allows a payment to be automatically deducted from your bank account. It is an easy and efficient way to pay your rates – and avoid the penalty charges!

Water rates are due every 6 months so the direct debit for water rates is available on a 6-monthly basis only.

Contact the Council at anytime to cancel or suspend the authority.
