Minutes:
The Council was asked to consider its response to the Department for Communities and Local Government consultation on the Draft Housing Revenue Account Determination 2009/2010 amendments. Given the economic climate the Government had proposed a change to determination levels for authorities to help tenants with the amount of rent they would have to pay for the current year.
It was noted that the consultation period was not due to finish until later in the week but there had previously been a considerable amount of lobbying from local government at the levels of rent that had originally been set in the subsidy determination.
RESOLVED that
1) the draft 2009/10 Housing Revenue Account Subsidy determination be amended in line with the consultation from the Department of Communities and Local Government; and
2) the cost of implementing the revised rents be taken from Housing Revenues Account balances.
