Local council tax support scheme consultation

Local council tax support (LCTS) scheme 2026 to 2027

The consultation to have your say on the LCTS scheme 2026 to 2027 has now closed.

The consultation was open from Monday 8 September to Monday 3 November 2025.

The consultation asked for views on the proposed scheme which involved maintaining all aspects of the current scheme.

We will listen carefully to what residents tell us. The consultation results will be considered alongside other evidence and information at the Full Council meeting in January 2026 to make the final decision on the 2026/27 scheme.

Following the decision, the full results will be available on the council’s website.

The new scheme will start on 1 April 2026. The council will consider the impact of the scheme annually and consult again if it thinks further changes need to be made.
