IT’S going to be easier than ever to keep an eye on your council tax accounts, according to Bromsgrove District Council.
A new system – the Open Portal – provides a more interactive website for residents, conforming to Government digital design standards.
Once customers have registered they can sign up for e-billing, changes to Direct Debit, see their statements and even upload documents.
Deputy leader of the council, Coun Geoff Denaro said: “We want our residents to be financially independent and be in charge of their own income and outgoings.
“This will ensure that they do not fall into debt and can let us know when their circumstances change in case they need extra support.
“This is the first step towards our residents being able to communicate with us digitally in the future.”
The Portal will go live on Monday, August 19, and it is hoped to be rolled out to our benefits section soon.
