Cllr Emma Buczkowski

...to provide Members with a quarterly update on the Corporate Risk Register, Cabinet reviewed the register and requested feedback on any areas of concern.

...the Cabinet agreed to the green pressures on the General Fund, the green savings options for the General Fund for services reporting directly into the Cabinet, the green savings options for the General Fund for services reporting into the five Policy Development Groups Cabinet, and the green savings options for the Housing Revenue Account, while deferring the pressures/savings options with a red risk/deliverability rating and agreeing to consider additional suggestions to balance the remaining shortfall.
