To consider irrecoverable debts to be written off.

(The appendix to this report contains exempt information as defined in S.100 of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) (Variation) Order 2006, as it contains the personal details of individuals.  In view of this it is anticipated that discussion of the matters contained within this appendix will take place after the exclusion of the public.)

(Report attached)

RESOLVED that

the debts totalling £54,754.90 as detailed in Appendix 1 of the report be written off as irrecoverable.

(It was noted during the course of the debate that no further routine quarterly reports on the write-off of irrecoverable debts were to be submitted to the Executive Committee following a decision taken at Council in August.

Officers undertook to respond to Councillor Braley as to whether the damage inflicted upon void properties constituted criminal damage.)

(During the consideration of this item, Members discussed matters that necessitated the disclosure of exempt information. It was therefore agreed to move to exclude the press and public prior to any debate on the grounds that information would be revealed which contained the personal details of individuals. There is nothing exempt in this record of proceedings, however.)
