The review of Brent's Council Tax reduction scheme is part of the next Cabinet agenda, published on Friday. Once again it is recommended to keep the scheme as originally designed. This is a remarkable tribute to the scheme as adopted in 2013.
At the same time, the Budget proposals suggest that this is an area for further savings, which I take it would require a redesign. The discussion in the Council papers does identify substantial savings but also a very big burden on the poorest residents.
