TV licence reminder

Over-75s in Carrickfergus are being reminded that they are eligible for a free TV licence.

With 2300 older people in the borough already enjoying the benefits of the concession, TV Licensing and Age UK have launched a campaign to encourage all of those who are approaching their 75th birthday to apply.

“Almost half a million people could apply for a free TV Licence over the next 12 months, as more than 460,000 people across the UK celebrate their 75th birthday in the coming year,” a spokesperson for TV licensing said.

The rate applies to anyone 75 or over, regardless of income, or anyone living with someone aged 75 or over.

Although the concession is free, it must be applied for in order for the address to be correctly licensed.
