Issue - meetings

The Committee considered a report which set out the details surrounding the Council Tax Support Fund Scheme 2023 – 24 announced by the Government in December 2022.

It was commented that sufficient funding should be retained to enable support to be given to those who become eligible throughout the financial year, which officers had confidence would be achievable.

RESOLVED:

That the Executive be recommended to approve the award of up to £25.00 to reduce council tax bills for vulnerable households on Local Council Tax Support (LCTS) s7.1 and to direct the remaining funding during 2023 -24 in line with the proposal at s8.1.
