Advice

Councillor Elliot introduced the report and said this was introduced in 2013 under the Localism Act. The scheme helps those in need with their council tax. The proposal is to keep the scheme as it is.

Councillor Williams added that this scheme had worked well for the last six years.

Councillor Anderson said he understood that scheme would be phased out over ten years.

C Baker said there were no timescales for this scheme.

J Deane said Councillor Anderson may be thinking of the link with parish funding.

Recommendations agreed.
