A motion to adopt, for the financial year 2016/17, a scheme whereby entitlement for working age claimants was calculated on 75% of the household Council Tax liability (thereby the maximum assistance provided to a claimant of working age was 75% of his/her Council Tax liability) was moved by Councillor Graham Arthur and seconded by Councillor Stephen Carr. (Other elements of the proposed scheme would remain unchanged to that in place for 2015/16 except where revision was required as a result of revised legislation/guidance and/or annual uplifting.)

 

An amendment to the motion to retain the level of support for working age people at 81% was moved by Councillor Ian Dunn and seconded by Councillor Angela Wilkins. This amendment was LOST.

 

The original motion was CARRIED.
