  1. Council Tax Support (CTS), sometimes called Council Tax Reduction, is a scheme that helps people on low incomes pay their council tax bill. Each local authority runs its own scheme, so the amount of support available and the eligibility criteria vary depending on where you live. 

  2. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is a body made up of the ten local authorities in Greater Manchester. It works on issues that affect the whole region, such as transport, the economy, and the environment.
