Cabinet to consider changes to community care charging policy

1 December 2023

Proposed changes to the council's community care charging policy to make it sustainable and protect those who need the most support will be considered at a meeting next week.

The proposed changes follow a public consultation where people gave their views on 3 available options, although alternative options could be suggested.

At a meeting on 7 December 2023, members of Cabinet will be asked to agree a recommendation to approve a revised charging policy which is more in line with the limits allowed within national charging guidelines and those applied by many other local authorities across the country.
