Report of the Director of Finance and Business Improvement - Medium Term Financial Strategy and Budget Proposals 2017/18
Issue for Decision
To agree the Medium Term Financial Strategy and Budget Proposals 2017/18 for services within the remit of the Committee for submission to Policy and Resources Committee.
Decision Made
1. That it be submitted to Policy and Resources Committee that the proposed budget reduction of £45,000 within planning policy for 2017/18 is not supported, as it is believed that to make this cut would lead to a reduction in the service to a level of deterioration which would be unacceptable. It is therefore requested that alternative areas for savings be considered.
2. That further comment on future years be deferred for consideration following the results of the planning service review.
Should you wish to refer this decision to Policy and Resources Committee, please submit a Decision Referral Form, signed by three Councillors, to the Head of Policy and Communications by: 20 January 2017
