Due to Coronavirus delay the monthly Council Tax payment start date.
I would like parliament to get councils across the UK to delay the start date of council tax. It is usually taken over 10 months with a break at the end of the year. Start in June instead of April with the situation to be reviewed again in May.
Due to lack of income this would take a great deal of pressure off many in the UK.
It may be the case that council tax payments have to be reviewed again as June approaches, but this would be a good start and one less worry for people.
