Each year Tameside Council must decide whether to change the Council Tax Support scheme for working age applicants in its area. There are no changes for Pension Age applicants as they are part of the national scheme. This year the Council is deciding whether to significantly change the working age Council Tax Support Scheme. 
  
 The Council is legally required to consult on any proposed changes to the scheme and we’re asking you to take part in this consultation to find out what you think about the proposed Council Tax Support Scheme, which would start from 1 April 2025. We want to:

• make the scheme easier to understand and access;
• provide the same level of support for households on the lowest incomes;
• make the scheme work better with the Universal Credit system;
• support families and applicants who receive a disability benefit; 
• take away the need for constant changes in awards; and
• make the scheme easier to manage.

Thank you for taking the time to share your views. It should take around 10 minutes to fill in this consultation.

This consultation seeks views on an aspect of the 2022 consultation on draft secondary legislation relating to the application of the advertising restrictions on less healthy food and drinks to internet protocol television (IPTV) services, which deliver television and advertising live over the internet.

Our aim is to gather views on the proposed exemption of Ofcom-regulated IPTV services from the online restrictions, bringing them in line with existing exemptions for linear broadcast and on-demand programme services. We want to ensure that the application of the advertising restrictions to these services is coherent, appropriate and gives clarity to IPTV operators.

The Tribunal Procedure Committee is interested in your views on a proposal to amend the procedure rules governing the First-tier Tribunal (Health Education and Social Care Chamber) for special educational need and disability appeals.

The government is determined to deliver better bus services, grow passenger numbers and drive opportunity to under-served regions.
