Decision:

That the budget proposals for services within the remit of the Heritage, Culture and Leisure Committee, as set out in Appendices B and D to the report of the Director of Finance and Business Improvement, be agreed for submission to Policy and Resources Committee.

 

Minutes:

The Director of Finance and Business Improvement presented the report which set out the details of revenue budget proposals for the services within the remit of the Committee. The Committee was informed that the reduction in the New Homes Bonus would have no effect on the budget, but would affect capital expenditure and may require the Council to borrow to fund capital projects.

 

In addition to the budget proposals included at Appendix B the Director advised that Policy and Resources Committee had requested that the Committee consider the growth allocation of £50,000 annually to the Museum for the years 2017/18 and 2018/19. In response to a question it was explained that removal of the growth projection might result in the withdrawal of the Museum educational service, an additional day of closure and staff redundancies.

 

RESOLVED: That the budget proposals for services within the remit of the Heritage, Culture and Leisure Committee, as set out in Appendices B and D to the report of the Director of Finance and Business Improvement, be agreed for submission to Policy and Resources Committee.
