Consultation process
Formal consultation has not been undertaken, but the question of whether to suspend the scheme has been discussed with the council and ALMO officers, including at the Welfare Reform Operational Group in light of the introduction of the SSSC. The council is due to write to affected tenants shortly, so a decision needs to be made urgently. Previous consultation with tenants who have moved under the scheme indicates the financial payment was not the primary motivating factor.
