Save up to £150 on your household bills and help the environment too |
|
Low energy light bulbs last on average 12 times longer than regular light bulbs and can save up to £9 on your annual electricity bill. Remember – turn a light off when you leave the room to save even more! Buy products with the ‘energy saving recommended logo’ – they are the same price as normal appliances and can save you up to £45 per year on your energy bill. ‘Standby Mode’ – Leaving appliances on standby (e.g. turning off the TV via the remote not the box) wastes approximately £740 million of electricity, not to mention the 800,000 tonnes of carbon released into our atmosphere. Leaving an appliance in standby mode overnight not only increases your electricity bill but it is also an increased fire risk and shortens the life of the appliance by years. |

Help in paying your Council Tax |
|
Help in paying your Council Tax HELP is available to residents on low incomes who are finding it difficult paying their Council Tax. From time to time, some residents face financial difficulties and this is something that Horsham District Council fully appreciates and offers help to those who are eligible. Many residents are not aware that there are 23 different situations in which homes could be exempt from Council Tax. These may include empty homes that are unfurnished, a house undergoing structural repair to make it fit for habitation, or homes that are occupied only by students or severely mentally impaired people. A full list is available in the 'Council Tax Explained' leaflet which was recently circulated to all homes in the Horsham District, from the Council website (www.horsham.gov.uk) or from the Council's offices. |
