The Cabinet Member for Finance & Resources has given approval to the write off of 5 outstanding debts (totalling £62,406.75 ) that are considered irrecoverable. These include 2 Council Tax debts, 3 Business Rates debts.

Every possible method of recovery has been attempted to recover these debts. However, for the reasons stated in the report, there is no further recovery action that can be taken to recover the money owed.

If circumstances change and it becomes possible to recover the debt, recovery can be reinstated even if the debt has been written off.

It is recommended that these debts are now written off as all attempts to recover the monies owed have been exhausted.
