Draft Air Quality Strategy 2025-2030 for Consultation
From: Executive - Monday, 3rd February, 2025 6.00 pm - February 03, 2025
To approve the draft Air Quality Strategy 2025 – 2030 for consultation prior ro final consideration and adoption. Air pollution can have a serious effect on people’s health. The Environment Act 2021 requires all local authorities to have either an active Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) if the authority has declared an Air Quality Management Area or to produce an Air Quality Strategy. In 2024, Fareham revoked both of its AQMAs and is therefore no longer required to have an AQAP. As such, an Air Quality Strategy is required. A 12-week public consultation process on the draft Air Quality Strategy is proposed and the final Strategy will be brought back to the Executive for decision later in the year.

General Fund Revenue Budgets & Finance Strategy 2025/26
From: Executive - Monday, 13th January, 2025 6.00 pm, NEW - January 13, 2025
The report provides an update on the Council’s 5-year financial forecasts and makes recommendations regarding the revised revenue budget for 2024/25 and base budget for 2025/26. The Executive recommended, and the Council approve, in February 2023, the base budget for 2024/25, for the General Fund Revenue Account services. The report sets out some revisions to the budget for 2024/25 and proposes a base budget for 2025/26 for the Executive’s agreement and submission to Council. The report also gives the context to these budgets in the form of the latest five-year projections from the Medium-Term Financial Strategy. Revised General Fund Revenue Budget 2024/25 The original general fund revenue budget for 2024/25 set, for £14,883,100, required a funding shortfall of £404,200 to be met from unallocated general reserves. The projected shortfall has now dropped to £285,700, with the revised budget of £14,410,200. This is mainly dure to the savings that have been made through the Opportunities Plan and wider work in the year such as reducing the cost of Homelessness provision. Base General Fund Revenue Budget 2025/26 The proposed general fund revenue budget for 2025/26 totals £14,839,100 which is a decrease of £43,900 against the original budget for 2024/25. There is a funding shortfall of £62,600 which will need to be met from unallocated reserves. 5-Year Financial Forecasts The 5-year financial forecasts for 2024/25 to 2028/29 is predicting future funding shortfalls, each year rising to £1.3million by 2026/27, which will be the last year that the shortfall can be met from unallocated General Reserves. The Opportunities Plan work recommenced in 2023/24 and has served to delay the funding shortfall problem each year. Work will need to continue to expand and deliver the Opportunities Plan to help manage the Council’s financial pressures and remain resilient. As the easier projects have now been delivered, there may be a need to make increasingly difficult decisions. Members have already started this work which will be built into the next Opportunities Plan.

Trade Waste Service Review
From: Executive - Monday, 13th January, 2025 6.00 pm, NEW - January 13, 2025
To set out how the Council’s trade waste service offer will balance competitive service provision with financial sustainability. Waste Savers is Fareham Borough Council’s waste service to businesses and other non-domestic premises. From 31 March 2025, as part of wider statutory changes known collectively as Simpler Recycling, most non-domestic premises in England will be required to separate recyclable waste from the residual refuse. The requirement will extend to micro businesses on 31 March 2027. Businesses are seeking reliable, trusted, comprehensive waste management services to comply with these requirements and this report sets out how Wate Savers will offer this to its customers from 31 March 2025. New objectives have been developed to ensure that our commercial waste service continues to offset the growing external cost pressures on the service, ensure internal overheads are covered and enable the service to continue to contribute to the Council’s wider waste and environment functions.
