again in 2017/18 to businesses that become accredited by the Living Wage
Foundation during 2017/18 and who meet the criteria set out in appendix 1
.
(2) the discount be offered on a first come first served basis until the Council’s
overall contribution equals £20,000 within the 2016 -2018 financial years and
once the Council’s £20,000 contribution has been reached to offer no further
discounts; and
(3) the scheme be reviewed in 2017/18 to determine whether it should be
offered in future years.
