Decision details

Noted the contents of the report and agreed that in considering the financial forecast for the period ending 2017/2018 full Council’s attention be drawn to –

¨  past successes in controlling spending and obtaining additional grant funding, the continuation of which it is hoped will form important elements in reducing future spending;

¨  the development of five-year visions which it is anticipated will contribute towards additional spending reductions and help prioritise proposals for service developments; and

¨  the major uncertainty over future grant levels and the consequent inability to develop accurate plans until the three year grant levels are known in December.
