Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Attridge introduced the report which outlined the proposed heating charges in Council properties with communal heating systems for 2017/18, 2018/19 and 2019/20.

                        New charges were implemented in the summer of each year to enable an accurate picture to be gathered on the previous year’s costs.  Any proposed changes to charges were intended to ensure that each communal heating scheme recovered the full energy costs charged in respect of each scheme and aimed to keep a nil balance on the heating reserve account.

                        Full details on the recommended heating charges based on actual usage in 2016/17 and the assumption that costs and usage remained at the same level for the next three years were outlined in the report.

RESOLVED:

That the changes to heating charges at Council properties with communal heating schemes as outlined in the table of the report be approved with changes to take effect from 1^st September 2017.
