Following consideration, The Committee
unanimously resolved to:
(1)         
Note the implications of the budget targets presented to
Strategy & Resources Committee on 13 July 2023.
(2)         
Consider how additional income or savings can be generated to
address the projected Council wide funding gap of £1.1m in
2024/25, rising to £2.5m by 2027/28.
(3)         
Note that owing to the Council’s projected budget deficit,
any additional new revenue growth items (i.e., service enhancements
resulting in increased net expenditure) supported by Policy
Committees will need to be fully funded from existing
budgets.
Resolved (6 for, 1 abstention, and the Chair not
voting) to:
(4)         
Agree that an additional cost item be added into the
Committee’s budget plans for 2024/25 for £40k to cover
possible additional independent noise assessment works or other
activities that may be required at the Chalk Pit site in
Epsom.
