Having considered an officer report, and a presentation by the Cabinet
Member for Resources, Councillor Kevin Bonavia, the Mayor agreed that:
(1) consultation takes place on a local CTRS for 2017/18 that passes on a cut
in government funding to working age claimants;
(2) consultation takes place on introducing a means test for applicants of
working-age who receive UC in addition to their earnings. This will maintain
the current position where all those with earnings are means tested;
(3) there be a continuation of the provision of discretionary support in cases of
exceptional hardship using Section 13(A) of the LGFA (2012).
