It was resolved to
approve the following –
 

·               
The rent increase of 2.7% on all general rent units in line with
the Welsh Government rent policy on collection over 51
weeks.

·               
An increase of £1.00 per week for the rent of all
garages.

·               
That the service charges costs as noted in section 6.3 of the
report be applied to all tenants who receive the relevant
services.

·               
The administration of the Rent Support Scheme – a local
scheme to support tenants who are in financial difficulty.

·               
That a letter be written to Welsh Government stating that the
increase in rents is insufficient to enable the HRA to finance the
increased costs as a result of additional employer NI contributions
following the Budget announcement, WHQS2023 standards and building
cost inflation.
