Decision details

The Cabinet Member for Resources, Commissioning & Governance has considered a report detailing a package of financial support known as the Energy Bills Rebate that had been announced by the government to help households meet the increasing cost of energy bills.

Stockport has received funding of £16,497,900 to support eligible households.

£15,898,800 of the funding will be used to provide eligible households in Council Tax valuation bands A-D with a one off payment of £150 aligned to the Government’s eligibility criteria.

The remaining £599,100 will be distributed via a discretionary scheme set-up by the Council aligned to Government guidance i.e. those households that occupy properties in bands E-H as well as providing additional targeted support to the most vulnerable households in bands A-D.

The Cabinet Member for Resources, Commissioning & Governance has then given approval to the proposed energy rebate discretionary scheme for Stockport as detailed in sections 4.3, 4.4 and 4.6 of the report.
