A REVIEW of council tax discounts is set to be carried out by Halton Borough Council this month.

There are currently 19,479 residents claiming the single person discount and so rather than contacting every resident that currently claims it, council officials will carry out residency checks to target those residents whose circumstances differ from those recorded on its systems.

Any residents who think they may no longer be entitled to a Council Tax discount should ring 0151 511 7771.
