Issue details

Proposed Rental Concessions to Support Council Commercial Tenants during the COVID-19 ‘Firebreak’.

An emergency report for a three-month rent concession was originally agreed using the Council’s emergency powers in April 2020 under FPR19 (during the first ‘lockdown’ period).

However, due to rising COVID-19 transmission rates, Welsh Government has now introduced a further two week ‘firebreak’ which means the Council should now consider a further rental concession package in order to supports its tenants and to mitigate against long term losses & ‘void’ costs.
