Decision type: Key

Reason Key: Expenditure > £100,000;

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 08/04/2020

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The Council needs to make some decisions quickly in respect of its response to the COVID19 emergency. Due to the speed with which the situation regarding the Covid 19 pandemic developed, the need for this policy change was not identified early enough to allow it to go through the normal report preparation process and associated timetable for the Executive Decision Notice publication. The approach detailed in the report will, if approved, provide both reassurance and financial flexibility for those commercial tenants affected by the Covid 19 emergency. Delaying making these policy changes could cause severe financial hardship for some commercial tenants at a time when they are facing multiple challenges.
