Paying Your Rent

If you are worried that the benefit changes will reduce the money you have coming in, it's a good idea to start thinking ahead.

For example, you could get a benefits check on your current entitlement and see whether there is any transitional protection available. You could also get some advice about budgeting as the Universal Credit is either paid fortnightly or monthly.

Gas Safety

If you have gas in your home, then the Council needs access every year to carry out an Annual Gas Service to all Council owned gas appliances. This is to ensure your own safety and the safety of those around you. Each year, we will contact you by letter to make arrangements for this service. Should the appointment that you are given not be suitable, you have the opportunity to re-arrange the appointment. Both Gas and Electricity are required to carry out the annual service.

For further information on:

  • Why we need access
