Portfolio Holder: Cllr Sarah Broughton       Lead Officer: Rachael Mann

RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL (as part of the budget setting process): 25 February 2020

That the proposals detailed in Section 2 and Table 1 of Report No: PAS/WS/19/019, be included in securing a balanced budget for 2020/2021 and the medium-term financial plans.

The Cabinet considered this report, which sought approval for budget proposals for inclusion to secure a balanced budget for 2020/2021 and in the medium term.

Councillor Sarah Broughton, Portfolio Holder for Resources and Performance drew relevant issues to the attention of Cabinet, including that a range of budget proposals had been assessed and updated following previous consideration by the Performance and Audit Scrutiny Committee. The update was to reflect developing trends and revised information as it became available as far as possible.

Table 1 that had been considered by the Performance and Audit Scrutiny Committee and reproduced in Report No: CAB/WS/20/004, provided a set of proposed actions and solutions to reduce the identified budget gaps between 2020-2024.  

Work would continue to monitor the trends included in Table 1, including driving to agree the assumptions that would close the remaining budget gap for 2020/21 for presentation to Council on 25 February 2020.
