Issue - meetings

Purpose: To set out to the Executive the process for the delivery of the 2025-26 budget papers. The 2024-25 Revenue Budget included the highest level of savings that the Council has ever been required to make. The combination of very high inflationary rises, significant increases in demand for services and national core spending power for local government remaining below 2010-11, all led to this very high level of saving need. The capital budget was constructed with the revenue budget clearly in mind, and it is crucial that two budgeting processes complement one another to enable the delivery of the Council Strategy 2023-27.

Resolved that: Executive note the report.

This decision is not subject to call in as:

·     Report is to note only.
