What Your Council Tax Pays For

  • Building Control (non-fee earning contribution) 
  • Environmental and regulatory services
  • Health and recreation services
  • Housing and community services
  • Planning and development services
  • Refuse collection and recycling
  • Street cleansing
  • Democratic Services
