To consider the report of Cabinet Member for Communities and Leisure seeking approval to accept and authorise expenditure in relation to the next phase of Household Support Fund funding for 1 April 2024 to 30 September 2024 inclusive.

NOTE: This report is submitted for consideration as a general exception under paragraph 15 of the Access to Information procedure Rules in Part 4 of the Council’s Constitution, notice having been given to the Chair of Overview and Scrutiny Management Committee and the public.

The matter requires a decision under this regulation due to its urgency (that it is impracticable to defer the decision until 28 clear days’ notice has been given on the Forward Plan). This is due to the timescales given between the Government announcement of funding being made available on 6 March 2024 and the period within which the scheme must be delivered (1 April 2024 – 30 September 2024).
