A report by the Director of Finance reminded the Cabinet that the Council was responsible for the collection of local taxes and also levied charges for a variety of services. Whilst most income was collected as and when due, there were instances when action for recovery of sums owed to the Council was required.

The Cabinet was informed that in order to ensure transparency and consistency with regard to the collection and management of debt throughout the Council, Members were requested to approve a Corporate Debt Recovery Policy.

RESOLVED:

That the Corporate Debt Recovery Policy be approved.
