Tenants and homeowners in Bexley are being invited to give their views on the borough's council tax reduction scheme.

The scheme, which offers support to people with low incomes when paying their council tax, is set to change.

But Bexley Council wants to know what its residents think of the proposed changes - whether you claim support or not.

Landlords, welfare organisations and others are all welcome to give their thoughts on the proposed changes in a consultation which will close on September 23.

At the moment, claimants in Bexley can receive support for up to 80 per cent of their council tax bill.

Some changes are being proposed as a result of the new universal credit scheme being rolled out, and other changes are proposed that take income into account rather than age.

The proposals, as well as the current arrangements, can be found online. Anyone who does not have access to a computer can view the changes at a civic library.
