Statement of Decision: The Cabinet Member for Finance and Council Reform has approved the writing off of debt over £100,000 as set out in Section 5 of the report, after having taken all appropriate action and the noting of the write-off of debts under £100,000 under officer delegated authority.

Reason for Decision: The recommendation to write-off the amounts detailed in this report is proposed as all other avenues available to the Council for the recovery of these debts have been exhausted, including, where appropriate, the issue of court and distress proceedings. Debts under £100,000 are written-off under officer-delegated authority (Financial Regulations). Debts over £100,000 require Cabinet Member authorisation.
