Agenda item

Decisions:

1.            That Officers undertake further work in respect of reinstating the means test, including undertaking a public consultation, with a final Officer recommendation and proposed policy tools brought back to Cabinet for agreement at a later date.

2.            That a discretionary grant of £10,000, for essential works that cost in excess of £36k, be approved.

Reason for Decision:

To help mitigate the impact of increasing demand for DFGs and that the available budget is utilised in a way that ensures those who are most in need are able to access adaptations in a more timely way.

Implementation of Decisions:

The decisions will be implemented after the three day call in period.

Consultation:

The proposal to reinstate the means test will require public consultation.
