£150 rebate on heating bills
Households in council tax bands A-D will get a £150 rebate on their heating bills, from the Government, via Broadland District Council.If you already pay your council tax bill by direct debit, BDC will be able to use those bank details to send you the £150. If you don’t currently pay by direct debit, it would help BDC if you could sign up for direct debit, as they need to check your bank details before they pay the rebate to you.If you don’t want to pay by direct debit, there will be an online form and a paper form available in due course.More information is available here -

Jab Cab
JAB CAB Free Taxi Service
We are all aware of the benefits and importance of getting a COVID jab to protect ourselves, our families and friends and our communities.
Some people though may be struggling to get to their nearest Jab Centre.
To help remove the barrier for many that live in more rural areas Norfolk and Waveney CCG, in collaboration with health and care partners, are funding a Jab Cab service until 31 March 2022. This service offers everyone in Norfolk and Waveney a free taxicab return journey to a vaccination site to receive a COVID-19 jab. This can be arranged from school, home, or your place of work, so it’s easy and convenient.
The service is eligible for people who are having a first, second, or booster jab, and you can attend any vaccination site or walk-in clinic that’s convenient to you.
In order to claim your free journey, simply book your COVID-19 jab online or check which walk-in centre you’d like to visit. Then call a participating local taxi company and book your journey. Click here to see a list of participating taxi companies and find out more about the Jab Cab.
