Decision details

Executive considered a report of the Portfolio Holder – Finance and Community Safety.  The report sought approval for the proposed write-off of debts in respect of Business Rates, Council Tax, Housing Rents and Overpaid Housing Benefits, which were detailed in Appendix 1 to the report.

Moved by Councillor Clive Moesby and seconded by Councillor Sandra Peake

RESOLVED - that Executive agrees to write-off the amounts summarised at paragraph 1.1 (£129,484) and individually detailed in Appendix 1 to the report.

REASON FOR DECISION:

Writing-off amounts which were no longer collectable was an essential part of the debt management process. 

OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED:

No other options were considered as all available options to recover the debt had been explored.
