Three weeks left to give views on changes to Council Tax Support
LOCAL residents are being reminded to give their feedback on a consultation on proposed localised Council Tax Support schemes in Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset.
There are just three weeks left for responses to be received on important proposals which would see changes to the amount of Council Tax support some people would receive.
The government is replacing the national system of Council Tax Benefit with localised Council Tax Support, and councils in Bournemouth, Poole and the rest of Dorset are consulting on their draft local schemes until Monday 5th November.
From April 2013, Council Tax Support will be administered by local district and borough councils with the government giving ten per cent less funding than the current national system.

The draft local schemes propose that most working age residents who qualify for Council Tax Support will be required to pay a minimum contribution to their Council Tax.
All residents, regardless of whether they claim Council Tax Benefit or not, are encouraged to complete the questionnaire on the councils' websites or can request paper copies to complete.
