We want to know what you think about the changes to the Local Council Tax Reduction Scheme!
High Peak Borough Council is proposing to make changes to its Local Council Tax Reduction Scheme from 1 April 2026.
The changes we are proposing to make are:
- to allow all applicants who receive Universal Credit, but who do not have any earnings, to be allowed the maximum level of support of 100%
- to allow the scheme to exclude any payments from any Government compensation schemes from applications.

The information you provide will be treated confidentially and used solely by High Peak Borough Council. The final decision on the scheme will be made by the Council no later than 05 March 2026, and details will be made available on the Council's website.
Please submit your answers by 5 December 2025.
