TV Licences You need to be covered by a TV Licence to watch or record live TV programmes on any channel, or download or watch BBC programmes on iPlayer. This could be on any device, including a TV, desktop computer, laptop, mobile phone, tablet, games console, digital box or DVD/VHS recorder. If you do any of the above without a valid licence, you risk prosecution and a maximum penalty of up to £1,000, plus any legal costs and/or compensation you may be ordered to pay. You will also still have to buy a TV Licence if you need one. For up-to-date cost information and details on the many ways you can pay, please visit the TV Licensing website www.tvlicensing.co.uk/info Don’t forget the student refund If you’re leaving your halls or rented accommodation and moving back home for the summer, there’s a good chance you won’t need your TV Licence if there’s one at home. If there are three full calendar months before your licence expires, you can get a refund for the unused quarter of your licence. If you think you don’t need a tv licence, you can find out more information and let TV licensing know by visiting: www.tvlicensing.co.uk/notv Laundry Services All of the villages have their own washing and drying facilities.

You can operate the machines using Circuit's mobile app for iOS and Android - you'll just need either a credit/debit card or a Paypal account in order to top up your balance.
