£500 Reward

If you provide information about someone who is illegally subletting a property, and the Council gets control of the property back, you can receive up to £500 reward. You can report details on line. 

Do it in a day means our contractor, Breyer Group, will be carrying out all the repairs at a specific location on the same day.

Tenants should still report repairs in the normal way, so Breyer Group knows how many staff, and what equipment, may be needed to do the repairs.

But if you see the contractors working in your street and you have a non-urgent repair you can report it directly to them and they will try to get it fixed for you on that day.

Breyer Group will be in the following areas on these Wednesdays:

28 October: Rush Green Gardens

4 November: Ongar Way, Theydon Gardens, Danbury Road, Fyfield Road, Canfield Road, Harlow Road, Writtle Walk

11 November: ​The Rotunda, Fambridge Court, Cottons Court

18 November: ​Farnham Road, Hilldene Avenue, Chippenham Road, Kings Lynn Drive, Dartfields, Rothbury House, Crediton House, Wantage House, Ingleton House, Stratford House, Ripon House, Keswick House, Ringwood House, Morpeth House, Matlock House, Lincoln House

25 November: ​Malan Square, Bader Way, Wood Lane, Thomas Sims Court

Council Tax

Using Direct Debit means you don’t have to remember when your Council Tax or rent is due as the payment is made automatically, and for the right amount, every month.

You can choose whether the Council Tax payment is made on the 1st or the 15th, of each month to suit your financial situation and it’s easy to set up too.

All you need are your bank account details and your Council Tax or rent reference number. Then contact us and we’ll do the rest.

and Council rents

You can choose whether the rent payment is made on the  1st, 7th, 14th or 21st of each month
