SEDGEMOOR residents will now have an easier time paying for their council tax as the council has introduced a new telephone payment system. 

The automated telephone system will be available to residents all year round and Sedgemoor District Council says residents are now able to pay their bills at their own convenience. 

Residents will be able to pay a range of bills using the service including, council tax, non domestic rates and garage and housing rent.

To pay residents will need to have their reference number, Debit or Credit Card (there is currently a charge for credit card payments) and the amount they want to pay ready.
