The government changes mean that from April 2013 each council area would have a shortfall in the amount needed to maintain Council Tax benefits at current levels - equating to £700,000 in Bolsover.

To find out more about the proposed changes and to have your say, visit www.bolsover.gov.uk, email [email protected] or call 01246 242424 (8am-5pm Monday to Friday).

You can also attend a drop-in session at Bolsover Contact Centre from 1-4pm on Tuesday 9th October and 9am-12noon on Thursday 18th October. Or pick up a consultatin leaflet from libraries and council buildings. Everyone is invited to have their say - not just residents who receive Council Tax benefits.
