Bristol City Council looks set to miss the April deadline for the £150 council tax rebate. With just four days to go before the end of the month - and only two working days - thousands of residents are still without the money the government promised them back in February.
The money was due to be paid "in April", the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, repeatedly said, though other government documents also referred to the money being paid "from April". Bristol City Council, along with North Somerset Council and South Gloucestershire Council, appear to be lagging behind.
BCC's dedicated web page says: "Arrangements are being made to implement the council tax rebate scheme and we will provide more information as soon as possible." It is also yet to be updated with information on how to claim if you do not pay your council tax by direct debit; people who do will receive it automatically.
