The Cabinet Member for Finance, Growth and Core Services presented the latest debt management performance report covering the second quarter of the 2023/24 financial year.

The Cabinet Member referred to the main highlights within the report, including marked increases in collection rates for General Income and Adult social care costs.  The collection of arrears from previous years had also improved and the Cabinet Member stressed the importance of maximising collection of both in-year and older debts in order for the Council to continue to provide much needed services to the local community.

Cabinet resolved to note the performance of the debt management function carried out by the Council’s Collection service, including the improvements in collection in some areas and the challenges in others.
