Pay your rent while you shop!

Paypoint is the alternative way for the 10,500 tenants to make cash payments at any outlets displaying the purple 'PP' sign.

Council tenants can pay their rent at post offices, supermarkets, service stations and newsagents across the borough.

The post office will accept cash, cheque or credit / debit cards.

Tenants have been issued with a card imprinted with their details, which is used when making a payment to record the information.

There are many venues in the borough where Paypoint is available and many residents are already using the system to pay electricity, gas, telephone and water bills.

Residents will still be able to use existing methods of payment such as the cashiers, standing order or at their banks.

Please keep your PayPoint receipts until you receive your quarterly statement.

You can find your nearest PayPoint location online.
