THE Hyndburn Council cash office at Accrington Town Hall is set to close after it was discovered that very few residents used the facility.
Bosses at the authority said that only a small percentage of people paid their council tax or other bills at the office in Blackburn Road.
Now alternative ways to pay are being promoted, after a review revealed into the service was completed.
Coun Marlene Haworth, said: “We are letting people know that there are many alternative ways of paying, for example by Direct Debit or standing order, by telephone or via the internet.
“People can also use a payment swipecard which is accepted at over 150 outlets across the borough, including Post Offices, Woolworths and many local newsagents.”
The cash office at Accrington Town Hall will close from September 30.
