Renfrewshire Council has agreed to write off over £400,000 in irrecoverable debt, with concerns raised by councillors about the significant amount and its impact on public services. The debt, which includes council tax, non-domestic rates, housing benefit overpayments, and sundry debtors, has been deemed uncollectable after attempts to recover it. The decision follows financial regulations requiring a report on the write-off of sums exceeding £10,000. Councillors highlighted the need to balance debt recovery efforts with the public interest, acknowledging the challenging situation.
