South Gloucestershire Council has apologised to its residents, saying some will only receive their £150 council tax rebate in early June. That's despite the government saying people would receive it "in April".
A spokesperson for the council said: “We are working through the £150 council tax rebates as fast as we can, subject to the limits of our finance system in handling large numbers of payments to residents. Most households that pay by direct debit will receive their payment by the beginning of June.
"We apologise for the delay and thank residents for their patience while we continue to process this. For customers who do not have a direct debit set up, we will be sending a letter in the post in the next few weeks.
