Council tax bills are being sent out right now
North West Leicestershire District Council (NWLDC) collects your council tax – but only a small part of it is for NWLDC services (around 7.5%).

The biggest part of your bill helps pay for Leicestershire County Council services – schools, roads, social services and more.

On your demand notice you will also see charges from parish councils, Leicestershire and Rutland Combined Fire Authority and the Police and Crime Commissioner.
