Energy bill payments | We are aware of the government’s announcement that households in council tax bands A-D will receive a £100 payment to help with energy bills, but we have not yet received guidance on how the scheme will be administered. There is no need to contact us about these payments as we are not able to provide any further details at this stage. Please be cautious about unexpected texts, emails or social media messages asking you to apply for the payment, provide personal or bank details, or pay a fee as it could be a scam.
