This report forms part of the process of agreeing a budget for
2023/24 and setting next year’s Council Tax. Following consideration by this Committee at its
meeting on 8 November 2022 of the draft Medium Term Finance
Strategy for 2023/24 – 2027/28, this report sets out budget

other Policy Advisory Committees. These
proposals will then be considered by the Executive at its meeting
on 25 January 2023. The Executive will
subsequently consider all elements of the budget for 2023/24 at its
meeting on 8 February 2023, with a view to determining a final set
of proposals for submission to Council on 22 February
2023.
Additionally, following a request by the Executive at its
