Our online Council Tax, Business Rates and Housing Benefit service will be unavailable from Saturday 22 February 2025 until 10.00am on Monday 24 February 2025, whilst we carry out essential system maintenance. You can still make a payment during this time.

I am under 18 and homeless or could be homeless


If you are 16 or 17 years old and have not previously been in care, we will work with you and your parent(s)/guardian(s) to see if we can come to a solution.

You may find yourself at risk of being homeless for many reasons. Do not wait until you become homeless tell us you are at risk of becoming homeless.

If you need somewhere to sleep tonight Contact Homeless (freephone number).

If we are unable to get agreement for you to return home and you have nowhere to sleep that night, we will arrange temporary accommodation for you.

If we cannot resolve these issues, we will arrange a panel meeting to look at why you are homeless and support you into accommodation.

For advice Contact Housing advice (freephone number), or see our Get help to avoid becoming homeless information, which includes how to contact us outside of office hours.
