    My local council is £1306 for band D. Are you sure yours is only 681 as even with a 25% discount mine would come nowhere near close to yours.

    My Band A house is £725/year and we pay over 10 months so there are 2 months where there's a bit more money in our household budget :)

    how did you get a discount?
  • I think off the top of my head we're Band B which would make us pay £1,154.92 for the year we're paying in 9 instalments this year as we moved after the DD set up date for the first month.
    HSBC CC - £3000 / £3000
    Halifax CC - £1032.77 / £1032.77
