Proposed changes to Croydon council tax support scheme - give your views by 9 December

The way we support people with paying their council tax may be changing for working age adults.

Have your say - this consultation closes Thursday 9 December 2021.

Feedback from this consultation will be used to consider the fairness of the proposed scheme and help us prepare the final recommendations which will be taken to cabinet on 24 January 2022 and then full council on 31 January 2022.

If agreed the new scheme would start from April 2022.

If you would like this information in a different format, contact CTSconsultation@croydon.gov.uk(External link).
