Council Tax Collection Performance

The performance of all council's is monitored by the Government through the Audit Commission. The Audit Commission specifies performance indicators for each type of service and the council is obliged to provide the information which is then published by the Commission.

The information below shows how we performed in the collection of Council Tax and how we compare with the national average. For  more information on the performance of local authorities visit the Audit Commission's Website (External link).
