The Strategic Business Partner – Business Partnering & Controls presented the Budget Planning Committee Work Plan. At the next scheduled meeting on 31 October 2023, the Committee would consider the monitoring report for Q2.  The 2024/25 Budget Proposals - Revenue and Capital and Fees & Charges would be submitted to the 5 December 2023 meeting.

In the course of discussion at the earlier agenda item 3 regarding government funding to the Council, the Leader, Councillor Wood, had suggested that officers give a presentation at a future committee meeting giving an overview on council funding, including central funding, council tax receipts and other income.

Members endorsed the suggestion and highlighted other areas the Committee could include on its work programme at the appropriate time: innovation in relation to the budget and financial affairs of the council and possible future ideas that the Committee could contribute to; housing; car parking, and refuse.
