ºúÌÒÅ®Éñ

ºúÌÒÅ®Éñ is currently carrying out a review of all residents who currently receive a 25% Single Person Discount (SPD) on their council tax.   SPD is claimed when an adult is the sole adult occupant of the property. Whilst most residents who claim the discount are genuinely eligible, there are a minority who are attempting to deceive the system.  

  Councillor Donnie MacMillan, councillor for Mid ºúÌÒÅ®Éñ, has been awarded the British Empire Medal for services to local government. Donnie (91) has served ºúÌÒÅ®Éñ and Bute as a local councillor for nearly 35 years. Following the announcement, in this year’s New Year’s Honours List, Donnie said:

Children who turn five between 1 March 2019 and 28 February 2020 should be registered for primary school during the week beginning Monday 14 January 2019. Parents should take their children to their local primary school to register during that week, between 10am and 3pm. If your child is not already receiving pre-school education in ºúÌÒÅ®Éñ and Bute, you will need to bring their birth certificate with you when you register.
