Minutes:

The Executive received a report which set out the Council’s draft Housing Revenue Account (HRA) budgets for 2022-23.  Discussion ensued on rent collection and it was noted that during lockdown, when there had been no evictions, Officers had looked at arrears in a different way and worked with residents to maximise their income and benefits and help them to pay their rents.  It was hoped to build on that approach when New Vision Homes came in house in April 2022.

RESOLVEd

That  (i)    the draft Housing Revenue Account budgets for 2022/23, as set out in Appendix 1 to the report, be agreed; and

          (ii)   Managers, Corporate Leadership Team and Portfolio Holders continue detailed budget preparation for consideration by the Executive in February 2022.

Reason:   Consideration of these proposals will enable the preparation of the Council’s Housing Revenue Account budgets for 2022/23 to proceed.
