Delayed recycling collection and council tax concerns
Recycling collection was delayed by a week despite residents paying council tax. The resident expressed frustration about paying for services that were not provided on schedule.

A local authority has delayed sending council tax bills to residents until a later date in the year.
Double Council Tax Waste Collection Issue

Suspend Council Tax collection in areas with delays to Local Elections

Government must suspend council tax collections in areas where elections are postponed & reinstate once a vote is held.
