IF you have forgotten to pay your council tax and want to avoid �40 court costs, there's no time to lose.

East Devon District Council is about to send out the red final notices for the 2009-10 financial year.

The easiest way to ensure your council tax is paid on time is to set up a Direct Debit.

You can now arrange this over the phone without having to fill in a form and can choose to pay on either the 1st or the 17th of the month. Please ring the Council on 01395
