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.
