Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Local council should defer council tax untill the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Has passed.
So many people are so worried regarding the bills they have to pay. Council tax is one of the main ones. Their pay will be restricted.
So why don’t our local council defer our council tax for the next 8 + weeks.
They can add it to the 8 weeks grace we have in February and March 2021.i am sure this will help so many family’s out while the uncertainty of the next weeks unfold.
