Summary

The Cabinet decided to approve consultation on retaining the current Council Tax Support scheme, updated for 2027/28. This decision was made on 30/06/2026.

Full council record

Purpose

For Cabinet to agree the 2027/28 Council Tax Support Scheme consultation

Decision

That Cabinet approves consultation to retain the current Council Tax Support scheme, updated in line with the Department for Work and Pension (DWP) annual up-ratings for 2027/28.

Reasons for the decision

Following a fundamental review, changes were implemented from April 2025. The current scheme provides an affordable level of support while recognising the ongoing impact of the cost of living on residents. Continuing the current scheme would ensure stability and consistency for affected households.

Alternative options considered

To retain the current scheme, as is, without uprating in line with DWP.
