When considering the impact of the Government’s Comprehensive Spending Review in February 2016, the Executive Leader highlighted a £1,000,000 gap in the Council’s budget from 2018 onwards and requested the Chief Executive Officer to prepare and bring forward a range of options to close the budget gap. This review has given rise to a number of efficiency saving proposals to be captured either before or during the 2017/18 financial year, enabling the Council to achieve a balanced budget for the following year.
RESOLVED that the Executive:-
(a) notes the proposed reductions in the staffing establishment, as set out in the report;
(b) agrees the proposal to meet redundancy costs from transitional grants and existing establishment budgets; and
(c) agrees the savings under the headings “procurement”, “proceeds and “priorities” subject to a decision by the Council on the 2017/18 council tax at the appropriate time.
