This represents a retrograde step in the existing rent differential scheme. Members note that this has been taken by executive decision and call on Management to reverse their decision to end this provision.
Councillors will not note report and oppose any attempt to pursue arrears arising through non-payment or inability to pay this increase, or any attempts to subsequently diminish local authority services to tenants based on non- payment or inability to pay this increase.
