Other key items included a decision on The Lodge, and discussions around traffic implications and sustainability.

Agenda and draft minutes

The meeting approved the Council’s budget, including a council tax freeze for the third year in a row.

Agenda

The council approved the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) Budget and Rent Setting 2025/26 and a number of amendments to the Council's Standing Orders, following the walkout of all Conservative Councillors after the refusal of a motion to bring forward a debate on the possible closure of Bradstow School. The council also noted a number of supplementary items.
