Swindon Council

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

Swindon Borough Council
Civic Offices
Euclid Street
SN1 2JH

  Phone Number
Housing benefit and council tax benefit 0845 850 0962
Council Tax 0345 302 2316
General enquiries 01793 445 500

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.
