Report of the Strategic Director, Resources and Digital

Minutes:

Consideration has been given to recommending the Council to approve the Local Council Tax Support Scheme for 2021/22.

 

 

 

The alternative options to that being proposed, but which were discounted, included the adoption of a scheme which offers less support by increasing the minimum contribution or more support to residents by increasing at a greater rate the Council’s commitment of resources.
