Proposed formal write-off of debts
The Portfolio Holder introduced the report and drew attention to the tabled paper which reported a minor adjustment to the figures and explained the reasons for that. The report proposed the formal write off of £281,131.79 and explained that the proposals were in line with the Council’s Revenues and Benefits Service Write-Off Policy. The Director of Finance and Economy had been consulted along with Heads of Service for relevant areas and the Portfolio Holder thanked the Senior Recovery Officer for her continued hard work in this area.
Resolved:
That (i) the action that accounts totalling £43,532.76 had been written-off under delegated powers (Financial Regulations 11.1) be noted.
(ii) the write-offs listed in the Exempt Appendices totalling £237,599.03 be approved.
