Summary
This meeting of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee was scheduled to involve discussion of the council's budget, and to receive an update on petitions submitted to the council. It was also scheduled to receive verbal updates from the council's policy development committees.
Budget Proposals 2025/26
The committee was scheduled to scrutinise the council's draft budget proposals before they are considered by the council's cabinet. The report pack included a financial forecast for the council.
The current General Fund forecast for 2024/25 is an overspend of £19.395m after applying the £14.400m Risk and Contingency provision previously held corporately. This acts as a buffer against in-year service pressures.
