FORMER TENANT DEBT WRITE-OFF SOCIAL LETTINGS AGENCY Additional documents:
Minutes: Following the application of the public interest test it was RESOLVED pursuant to the Act referred to in minute 3 above not to publicise he content of the report as it contained exempt information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) (Paragraph 14 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act).
The public interest test in this matter related to the fact that the report included personal data relating to former social letting tenants, including details of their rent arrears. The publication of individual debts was unwarranted and would prejudice the rights and freedoms of the relevant data subjects. Accordingly, the public interest in disclosure was outweighed by the public interest in maintaining confidentiality.
The Executive Board Member in considering the report requested that further information be provided in relation to the debtors.
RESOLVED that consideration of the report be deferred to the next meeting

NON DOMESTIC RATES - DISCRETIONARY RELIEF Additional documents:
Minutes: Following the application of the public interest test it was RESOLVED pursuant to the Act referred to in minute no. 3 above not to publicise the content of the report as it contained exempt information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) (Paragraph 14 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act).
The public interest test in this matter related to the fact that the report contained information regarding the individual ratepayers’ recent financial history and/or personal information. Although public disclosure of the report would promote accountability for public finances, it would release confidential financial information. On balance, therefore, the public interest in disclosure at this time was outweighed by the public interest in maintaining confidentiality.
The Executive Board Member considered three applications for Hardship Relief under the provisions of Section 49 of Local Government Finance Act 1988 as amended.

COUNCIL TAX - DISCRETIONARY REDUCTIONS Additional documents:
Minutes: Following the application of the public interest test it was RESOLVED pursuant to the Act referred to in minute no. 3 above not to publicise the content of the report as it contained exempt information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) (Paragraph 14 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act).
The public interest test in this matter related to the fact that the report contained information regarding individuals that were liable to pay Council Tax. Although public disclosure of the report would promote accountability for public finances, it would release confidential financial information that was not in the public domain and would not normally be disclosed to third parties. On balance, therefore, the public interest in disclosure at this time was outweighed by the public interest in maintaining confidentiality.
The Executive Board Member considered a report detailing applications which had been received for discretionary reduction of Council Tax.
It was noted that regulations had been introduced with effect from April 2004 giving local authorities discretionary powers to grant locally determined Council Tax discounts or reductions, over and above existing statutory reductions.
RESOLVED
