Decision details

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).
