The Cabinet considered a report of the Corporate Director for Corporate Services informing Members of the current outstanding debt to the Council as at 31st March 2015 and debts that had been, or are recommended for write-off.

Resolved:-

1. That the current outstanding debt position as at 31st March 2015 and the position of debts written off to 31st March 2014/15, as set out in appendices A and B to the submitted report, be noted.

2. That the latest individual write-offs greater than £25,000, as set out in appendix B to the submitted report, be approved.

Reason for Decision

All reasonable steps to recover the debt have been taken and therefore, where write-off is recommended, it is the only course of action available. If the Council wishes to pursue debts for bankruptcy proceedings, it will follow the agreed and published recovery policy that covers this.

Other Options

None.
