As you will note from the proposals, there is no prospect of any funds becoming available to unsecured creditors of either of the Companies other than by virtue of the prescribed part. As a consequence, I do not propose to summon meetings of creditors. If, however, creditors whose debts amount to at least 10% of total debts of either of the Companies make a request in the prescribed form within 8 business days of these proposals being sent out, a meeting will be held in that company. Copies of the prescribed form (Form 2.21B) are enclosed in case you wish to request a meeting. I would draw your attention to the provisions of Rule 2.37 of the Insolvency Rules 1986 which provide that if a meeting is requested, it will only be held if the expenses of summoning and holding such a meeting are paid by the creditor or creditors making the request and if security is first deposited with me for payment.

  • Council Tax 2015/2016
    Your guide to Council Tax 2015/2016 stoke.gov.uk stoke.gov.uk 2 your guide to Council Tax Dear Resident, Public services are all too often unseen and taken for granted. Despite Stoke-on- Trent being one of the worst hit councils in decreases in central government funding in the country, we’ve managed to keep on delivering most public services. Savings The council has made savings of £97 million over the last four years and it’s predicted that we will have to save further £100 million over the next four, forcing us to make some very difficult decisions. Despite this, we have not lost our number one focus on increasing jobs for local people, in line with what you’ve said is most important to you. This work is paying off and Stoke-on-Trent is now one of the fastest growing cities in the UK with 3,000 new jobs created over the last two years. Ways of working In close partnership with the business sector, we’ve focused on improving the city’s economic competitiveness. It’s only by boosting growth and jobs that we can generate the funding we need for our children, older people and those in need. We are using modern digital technologies and working with other organisations to share ideas, drive down costs and, wherever possible, improve the services we continue to deliver. No increase in Council Tax We know that it’s a difficult time for our residents and that hard working families are under increasing pressure too. That’s why as a city council, we have not raised Council Tax for three years in a row.
