Report No. 21/2018 was received from the Director for Resources.

Mr Gordon Brown, Portfolio Holder for Regulatory Services, Waste Management, Property Services, Culture & Leisure, and Finance introduced the report the purpose of which was to seek approval to write off debts, over the value of £2,500, where officers believed that there was little or no prospect of recovering them.

During discussion the following points were raised:

i.      Attempts would be made to take earlier action in order to prevent debts from escalating.

RESOLVED

1)    Cabinet NOTED the action taken to recover outstanding debts.

2)    Cabinet APPROVED the write off of the debts shown in Appendix A of Report No. 21/2018.

Reasons for the decision

1.    There is no prospect of collecting the debts detailed in Appendix A and it is therefore prudent to write off the debts.
