Rent arrears, business rates, council tax and parking fines are among the monies frequently owed
A new financial strategy will help the council juggle its need to chase debts while ensuring vulnerable residents are not unfairly forced into hardship.
The latest debt management strategy, which will run until the end of 2025, aims to balance the current economic situation with the council’s need to rake in as much income as possible. A town hall report says: “The council collects approximately £240m of income each year and maintaining these resources in the current economic climate and where possible growing this income is fundamental to the financial stability of the council.
“Many more households will now need to significantly reduce expenditure as disposable income reduces or even disappears. Income collection includes around £73m from council tax and £41m from business rates in the financial year 2021/22.
