Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To request Cabinet approval to write off the debt detailed in the body of the report.

Decisions:

Cabinet received a report on a write-off of a debt, which was not recoverable. This was related to homelessness bed and breakfast accommodation which occurred before June 2017. Cabinet Members noted that procedures were now in place to ensure that the Council had a robust recovery process to enable arrears on the charges for temporary accommodation to be dealt with efficiently and consistently. The Chief Executive reported that Internal Audit would undertake another audit on the recovery process to ensure its robustness following the implementation of the recommendations from the Overview and Scrutiny Committee’s review of homelessness management.

 

RESOLVED that the write-off of the debt be agreed.
