Y penderfyniadau fel y mae cofnodion y cyngor yn eu cofnodi. Bydd crynodeb mewn iaith glir yn dilyn pan fydd wedi'i ysgrifennu.
RESOLVED – (1) T H A T the Council Tax Reduction Schemes and Prescribed Requirements (Wales) Regulations SI 2013/3029 (“the Prescribed Requirements Regulations”) and the Council Tax Reduction Schemes (Prescribed Requirements and Default Scheme) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2014 SI 2014/66 be adopted. (2) T H A T any amendments to Regulations made by the Welsh Government be reflected in the scheme. (3) T H A T the national scheme be adopted with the following discretions: - That the Council should continue to allow Extended Payments up to a maximum of 4 weeks. - That the Council should continue to disregard War Widow and War Disablement pensions in assessing income for Council Tax Reduction. - That the Council should continue to allow Backdated Reductions for a period up to 26 weeks. Reasons for decisions (1) To enable the Council Tax Reduction Scheme to be approved by Council by 31st January, 2024 and be in place for implementation from 1 st April, 2024. (2) Extended payments should continue to be for up to 4 weeks as this provided an incentive for customers to move into work and allow them time to receive their first pay. The numbers affected by this would also continue to decline as customers moved onto Universal Credit and extended payments then did not apply. (3) War Widow and War Disablement pensions should continue to be disregarded to allow the Council to continue to support Veterans and their families. Backdates should continue to be allowed for a maximum of 26 weeks to allow help to those with genuine cases for not applying sooner and to remove some of the burden of debt. Those cases would often otherwise be passed for further recovery action, putting further pressure upon them. Minutes -
These were received from Councillors Julie Aviet, Charles Champion, Marianne Cowpe, Vincent Driscoll, Robert Fisher and Nicholas Wood.
No declarations of interest were received.

Rhaid i gynghorwyr ddweud pan fydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad personol â rhywbeth sy'n cael ei drafod, fel swydd, eiddo neu aelod o'r teulu. Mae buddiant sy'n rhagfarnu yn ddigon cryf i'r cynghorydd adael yr ystafell fel arfer a pheidio â chymryd rhan.
Caiff datganiadau eu darllen o'r cofnodion unwaith y byddan nhw wedi'u cyhoeddi.
Yn rhestru cynghorwyr presennol y cyngor yn unig. Nid yw aelodau cyfetholedig, swyddogion a chyn-gynghorwyr yn cael eu dangos.
