Buy-out of private properties affected by slips Debate

Community Wellbeing - Equality & Inclusion

Option 1

The argument supporting Option 1 emphasizes that the council should prioritize providing support specifically to less wealthy individuals who are disproportionately affected by the slips, ensuring that assistance is distributed equitably. This approach suggests relying on insurance to cover losses for those who are insured, thereby focusing council resources on those who may not have adequate insurance or financial means to recover independently. This strategy aims to prevent the broader community from subsidizing the risk and liabilities of private property owners, aligning with a more targeted and equitable distribution of council support.
