More than 1,200 Ealing households have signed-up to pay their council tax by direct debit in a bid to win £25,000 in cash.

Ealing Council is one of 20 boroughs taking part in the London-wide prize draw to encourage more people to pay their council tax by direct debit.

The Town Hall is also running an extra draw, only open to Ealing residents, to award a second prize of £1,000.
