Support for low income households
RESIDENTS in Test Valley will continue to receive council tax support.
Test Valley councillors voted last week to maintain the existing scheme despite financial pressure due to the coronavirus lockdown.
It means that residents in the area will continue to receive the same level of council tax support.
The support cotributes towards council tax bills for low income households.
Finance portfolio holder Cllr Maureen Flood, said: “As well as the impact on people’s health, the impact of coronavirus on businesses and their employees has caused many people financial hardship. The council tax support scheme offers vital help to the most vulnerable members of our community and this has never been more important.”
