Cabinet was informed that the Council needs to maintain compliance with the PSN code of connection (CoCo) to secure continued access to the PSN.  Without this access, the Council could not carry out these vital business functions.  In response, Cabinet requested representations to be made to both the Cabinet Office and Treasury regarding the unnecessary cost associated with doing business with Central government.  The expenditure to maintain compliance with the PSN code of connection was wasteful and unnecessary red tape which could be avoided.
