A council in Nottinghamshire is to dish out more money as part of the council tax rebate payments to help with the ongoing cost of living crisis. It is the second council in the county to offer more money than the standard £150 payment to eligible residents.
Payments have already started to land in bank accounts in some boroughs and districts, including Rushcliffe. Now, Newark and Sherwood District Council says it will be giving some homeowners in certain tax bands an additional £28 on top of the £150, bringing the total to £178.
Residents on council tax support in Bands A to D (and Band E where the Disabled Band Reduction is awarded) will receive an additional £28 to the £150 rebate. Those on council tax support in bands E to H will receive £150.
