Leicester Council

If you have a council tax or benefit enquiry, you’ll need to contact Leicester Council on one of the helpline numbers listed below.

Leicester City Council
New Walk Centre
Welford Place
LE1 6ZG

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 0116 252 6944
Council Tax 0116 252 7005
General enquiries 0116 252 7000

If you’re experiencing financial difficulties, you must make sure you continue to manage your priority payments such as Council Tax, rent/mortgage and utilities, even if it means you cannot meet your monthly unsecured credit commitments.

That’s because the consequences of not managing your priority payments are much more severe. You should always contact your local council if you are struggling as you may be entitled to help paying your Council Tax.
