Minutes:

Councillor Amanda De Ryk moved that the recommendations be approved

and this was seconded by Councillor Jim Mallory and it was then

unanimously:

 

RESOLVED that

 

(1) the outcomes of the consultation be noted; 

 

(2) a local CTRS be retained from 1 April 2019 that passes on any reduction

in government funding, reflecting the Council’s financial position;

 

(3) the retained local CTRS be modified from 1 April 2019 to allow CTR to be

awarded to households who are receiving universal credit or housing benefit

and who the Council identifies would qualify for support but who have, for

whatever reason, failed to complete an application form;

 

(4) to continue the delivery of additional support to the most vulnerable residents through use of the existing provision within Section 13A(1)(c) of the 1992 Local Government Finance Act.
