Agenda item

The minutes of the meeting held on 29 June 2020 were agreed as a correct record to be signed by the Chair.

Matters Arising:

With regards to minute no. 4, paragraph 5, the Head of Finance and Transactional Services confirmed that the current in year recovery rate was 51.6% compared to 53.52% last year at the same period.  This was based on the position to week ending 13 September. As expected, a deficit on the collection fund was materialising and it was widening as the council moved deeper into the year. The level of arrears at the year end would be higher than in previous years and whether the council tax was subsequently recovered in the next financial year would need to be carefully considered at the end of the year when the collection fund was finalised in terms of provision for non-payment.
