Possible change to Council Tax Reduction Scheme: Your views sought

From the Council:

Good afternoon,

We are considering changing the current Council Tax Reduction Scheme from April 2020 and replacing it with a Council Tax Reduction Banding scheme.

Certain groups, such as pensioners, will not be affected by the changes. Working age persons currently in receipt of Council Tax Reduction may be affected by the proposed changes.

We have been working on designing a local scheme and are now carrying out a public consultation on our draft proposals. To see the details of the proposed changes and have your say about them, please complete this survey by midnight on 3 November 2019.

For more details on:

  • Why and how the scheme is changing;
  • Who will be affected by the changes; and
  • How to take part in the consultation

Please visit our website: https://hillingdon.gov.uk/consultation or contact the Customer Engagement Team on 01895 277038 or at customerengagement@hillingdon.gov.uk

We would like to hear from as many people as possible so can you please help to publicise the consultation by sharing the information at your various meetings and/or any other medium you use to communicate with local residents.

Kind regards

Prayer vigil 6pm this evening Hillingdon Station

Following the tragic events of Tuesday and the murder that took place on Hillingdon Station, Rev Reg Craig of Hillingdon Park Baptist Church has agreed with the Station Customer Service Manager to have a prayer vigil tomorrow evening (Thursday) at 6pm.  This will happen outside the main entrance.  The purpose of this event is for us to show solidarity as a community of all faiths and none and to stand together against the violence on our streets.  It is not political.

You are invited to attend.

Do you care about Ickenham?

Do you love Ickenham and would like to help oil the wheels of the Residents’ Association?
We are looking for someone to take on the role of Minutes Secretary to take the minutes of the monthly meetings and the AGM.
Are you interested or do you know anyone who might be? Like all the Committee posts, it is voluntary and you can become involved in other Committee work as much or as little as you like.
The Committee is non-political and it would help if you were too, although we’re not averse to having members who are passionate about local issues.
Please contact June Reyner, our General Secretary, at ickenhamresidents@hotmail.com in the first instance.
We look forward to hearing from you.
