Defer Council tax payments for at least 3 months

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

With Covid19 virus and the nation about to struggle with much lower income and possible jobs losses. Council tax bills around the country on average using up 2 weeks of SSP payments will leave families with no money for food power and possibly water. Defer council tax payments for at least 3 months.

The nation is going to struggle with all payments for all its utillities and food. The measures the Goverment are taking are going to make little difference to most families and local Councils will not be most peoples 1st choice to pay when they need feeding and power
