Local councils to offer council tax payment breaks early cause of COVID-19
I spoke to my local council about the payments on my council tax, the only option I had was to change my payment plan from 10 months to 12. This gave a very small reduction & this would not help me financially. To take the payment breaks early when would help me financially.
Every company is doing what they can to help their customers with payments and not being funny councils should do the same.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about alternative payment plans, including whether or not to apply the non-paying months of a 10 month payment plan to the beginning of the financial year, are for individual local councils, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could raise this issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
