Reigate & Banstead Borough Council is consulting on its proposed Council Tax reduction scheme for 2016/17 and is asking claimants and other residents for their views on the scheme.

It plans to continue with its existing scheme with a small increase to people’s entitlement to reflect the rise in inflation and to bring it in line with other national benefits.

You can give your views by completing a short survey on the Council’s website – www.reigate-banstead.gov.uk

If you do not have access to the internet contact the Benefits team on 01737 276497 to request a hard copy of the questionnaire.

The closing date for comments is Sunday the 27th of September.
