Has My Account changed, and why?
Our first My Account was launched in 2013, since then the way in which we use technology has changed – more users access websites on mobile devices (smartphones and tablets). We developed a new My Account, which launched in March 2021 and was designed as ‘mobile first’ and personalised to the individual user. Customers were consulted at the design stage so that we could include features they wanted to see. My Account now brings together a wide range of Council Services which can be accessed through a single account.
What has happened to my old My Account?
If you set up a My Account before 31 March 2021 you will need a to register for a new My Account. This is the only way to access Council Services online such as Cashless Catering, waste reminders and managing your Council Tax online. You are no longer able to use your old account.
Why do I have to create a new account - why can’t my old account login details be transferred over?
Unfortunately, we are not able to automatically transfer customers to our new My Account because we have introduced a new login process. This new process allows you to access a wide range of online services using a single account and gives you more choice on how to login (as well as logging in using your email you also now have the option to login with a Google Account, if you have one).
Will I continue to receive notifications if I haven’t signed up to the new My Account?
No, if you wish to continue receiving notifications (e.g. waste reminders) then you will need to create an account on the new My Account and opt in for notifications
