To provide the Executive with the results of the public consultation and seek approval of the Fareham Local Council Tax Support scheme to be effective from 1st April 2014.
In September 2013, the Executive agreed a draft Local Council Tax Support scheme for the purposes of a public consultation exercise. Formal consultation was carried out from 9 September to 4 October 2013 and 162 responses were received.
Having analysed the responses from the consultation, a detailed Equalities Impact Assessment has been concluded, and a final scheme has now been prepared for the Executive to consider. This will enable a scheme to be recommended to Full Council later in the month and prior to the deadline of 31st January 2014.
RESOLVED that:
(a) the Council approves the Council Tax Support scheme 2014-15, as recommended by the Executive at their meeting of 2 December 2013; and
(b) delegated authority is given to the Director of Finance and Resources to make any necessary minor amendments and to publish the final scheme prior to 1 April 2014.
