Following consideration, the Committee
unanimously resolved to:
(1)      
Note the implications of the budget targets presented to Strategy
& Resources Committee on 23 July 2024.
(2)      
Support the changes to services and savings previously identified
in Table 1 of the report and that those are included within the
budget presented to this Committee in January 2025.
(3)      
Consider how additional income or savings can be generated to
address the projected Council wide funding gap of £573,000 in
2025/26, rising to £720,000 per annum by 2028/29.
(4)      
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.
