Decisions:
The Corporate Portfolio Holder presented the report to Members.
He informed Cabinet that there were no debts over £10,000 to be written off on this occasion for former or current tenant rent arrears. He stated that the report also sets out the Council’s recovery procedures and policies and emphasised that debts were only written off as a very last resort. He explained to Members that bench marking information for the collection of Council Tax and NNDR was provided in paragraph 7. He added that one of the recommendations of the recent independent review of the partnership was that its performance should be benchmarked with other service providers, and that once this information was available it would be included in future write-off reports.
It was moved by Councillor N J Rushton, seconded by Councillor R D Bayliss and
RESOLVED THAT:
1. Cabinet approves the write offs over £10,000 detailed in this report.
- Cabinet notes the amounts written off under delegated powers.
Reason for decision:To comply with proper accounting practices
