Decision details

COUNCIL TAX

Decision Maker: Council

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decisions:

Report No. 22/2019 from the Strategic director for Resources was received to enable the Council to calculate and set the level of Council Tax for 2019/20 in accordance with legislative requirements.

 

The Leader, Mr Hemsley, moved the recommendations in the report.  Mr Brown seconded the recommendations.

 

Mr Brown introduced the report and confirmed that work was being done with Sparse on the rural strategy, as there was concern regarding future funding.  Representations had also be made to the Member of Parliament regarding the timing of announcements regarding future funding and the level of funding and also to the Local Government Association.  It was a difficult decision to raise Council Tax to this level, but as described in the reports before Council, there was little choice in the circumstances.

 

RESOLVED

 

a)  To APPROVE the formal Council Tax resolution shown at Appendix A;

b)  To NOTE no changes to the Local Council Tax Support Scheme (LCTS) for 2019/20; and

c)  To NOTE no changes to the empty homes discounts and long term empty homes premium for 2019/20.
