Report of Cabinet Member for Finance and Assets, Councillor Alisha Lewis

RESOLVED THAT

-       the council’s entry to the Counter Fraud and Enforcement Unit Partnership Collaboration Agreement is approved.     

The Cabinet Member for Finance and Assets said that the Counter Fraud and Enforcement Unit team invests huge amounts of time and effort cross-county in tackling these issues, and it is particularly important for the discretionary services offered by the council that programmes such as this exist, to help protect vulnerable residents across the town.  She welcomed the report and agreement, which is a continuation of what has gone before, and hoped that Members would back the recommendation.

The Leader confirmed that this report is brought to Cabinet every year with minor tweaks and updates, but is a really important part of what we do.  She was very glad that the work is managed in-house, and said that sharing the team with other authorities is more effective than doing it alone.
