Chichester District Council is considering reducing its Council Tax Reduction (CTR) scheme, which provides financial support to households on low incomes.

The council has launched a consultation and councillor Philippa Hardwick, cabinet member for finance, said: “We want to hear everyone’s views - including those not receiving the reduction.
“We are considering some changes to the current schemes, although they will not affect many residents but we need to know if we’ve got it right or whether there are areas that we need to look at again.”
