Eligible households across Allerdale will begin to receive their £150 energy cost council tax rebate from today (Thursday 12 May).
More than 40,000 households will receive a one-off payment, with the first batch of payments for those in council tax bands A to D who pay for their council tax via direct debit.
There are some households whose Direct Debit details have not been verified and these will follow on as soon as possible. Households who don’t pay by direct debit will receive letters containing information on how they can collect the rebate from their local post office in the coming weeks.
Open fires and wood-burning stoves have increased in popularity which means we now see more smoke from chimneys.
This has a negative effect on air quality and can cause breathing problems including asthma attacks and contribute to other health conditions.
If you think that someone is polluting the air with an open fire or wood burning stove, then you can report it to us.
