Rushcliffe Council: Cash Still Welcome

0:00On March 6th, Rushcliffe-Burrow Council wants residents to know, cash is still fine for paying council services at local spots like post offices even. If under 1% of people use it these days, most residents and businesses go electronic for payments, but the council understands some folks can't switch to digital methods easily. At a full council meeting on March 5th, officials responded to a motion from Councillor Ted Birch by reaffirming their push for fairness and access. Noting cash works well at sites like leisure centers and car parks. Cash handling costs more and raises fraud risks compared to cards or online options, so the council keeps all payment methods under constant review. 2. Manage money wisely. This balanced approach has helped them freeze the Rushcliffe part of council tax for the year ahead, keeping services open to everyone without extra.
