BRADFORD Council is encouraging residents to go paperless with their Council Tax bills this year. More than 38,000 households in the district already receive their Council Tax bill by email and the council want to increase this number even further. Over 14,000 people have signed up to paperless billing in February alone, as part of the push to encourage residents to join up. Paperless billing is a secure way to receive your bill and cuts out the clutter as well as being fast and efficient. Leader of Bradford Council Cllr Susan Hinchcliffe, said: “We’re delighted that so many people have already made the switch. Receiving your bill by email reduces our use of paper and postage, meaning we can make valuable savings and use these to provide vital services across the district.”
