The online payment service provides for payment by Debit or Credit card including VISA, VISA ELECTRON, MASTERCARD, MAESTRO/SWITCH AND DELTA.

PLEASE NOTE: Payments made by credit card will be subject to an additional charge which equates to the card transaction charge currently levied on the Council by operating banks.

Details of this charge will be displayed before you confirm acceptance of your payment and there is an option to cancel the transaction should you wish.

This transaction charge applies to credit card payments only, not debit card payments.

For all payments please make sure that you have details of your reference number available to allow your payment to be processed.

If your payment has been successfully processed a confirmation screen will be displayed with details of your payment, including your receipt number. This receipt number is a 12 digit reference where the first four digits will be ZZWP. If you do not see your receipt number then your payment has not been successful. If you are in any doubt please telephone 01563 576499. This number is available from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.

PLEASE NOTE: The Online Payment Facility is for payment only.
