Assuming this scheme goes ahead, that you pay your council tax to Bristol City Council, and that its by direct debit, cancel this arrangement and pay monthly by cheque. What's more, make it clear why you are taking such action, and that you will publicly encourage others to do the same. Cheques cause more work and expense. Councils hate them. You could also them that you will no longer accept E-Mail's from them and insist that all future correspondence is to be by letter only.
On the subject of DD's, some over 75's who are upset by the withdrawal of their free TV licenses have cancelled their DD's, and, by changing to cheque payment, have caused TV Licensing god knows how much extra work and expense. I read somewhere that they were planning to take on extra staff to deal with all those extra cheques.
