Report by the Chief Operating Officer

Minutes:

35.1     The Lead Member considered a report by the Chief Operating Officer.

 

DECISIONS

 

35.2     The Lead Member RESOLVED to approve the responses to the consultation by local billing authorities on proposed changes to their Local Council Tax Reduction Schemes for 2022/23. 

 

Reasons

 

35.3     Lewes and Rother District Councils are consulting on changes to their Local Council Tax Reduction Schemes (LCTRS) for 2022/23.  Whilst the proposals address particular concerns within each authority, the impact of the reduction in income will be felt for County Council services that support the needs of residents across the whole of East Sussex. The responses to the consultations reflect the negative impacts and recommends not supporting the proposed amendments to the LCTRS.
