The Cabinet Member for Finance, Growth and Investment introduced the performance report for the first quarter of the 2017/18 financial year in respect of the debt management function carried out by the Revenues and Benefits Service within Elevate East London.

The Cabinet Member advised that although performance was slightly below the stretched targets across all areas for the first quarter period, as more and more households were feeling the impact of the Government’s austerity measures, overall performance against the corresponding period for 2016/17 had improved in a number of areas.

The Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Note the performance of the debt management function carried out by the Revenues and Benefits service operated by Elevate East London, including the performance of enforcement agents; and

(ii)  Note the debt write-offs for the first quarter of 2017/18, as detailed in Appendix A to the report.
