Nottingham City Council has sought to explain why £150 tax rebate payments have been delayed compared to other local authorities across the county. The Labour-run authority expects payments will land in bank accounts by the end of June.
Conservative chancellor Rushi Sunak announced the payment earlier this year amid the soaring costs of living. Many payments began to land in bank accounts, including in Rushcliffe, as early as April 29 but residents in the city expressed frustration they had not yet received theirs.
The city council now says payments have commenced as of Tuesday, May 10. For residents in Bands A to D (and certain residents in Band E) who pay by Direct Debit, the council says it has commenced payments and expects to have made the majority of payments by the end of June.
