Decision Maker: Cabinet, Council

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

RESOLVED

 

(i)    To note the changes in the Council’s financial position in 2022/23 and the medium term.

 

RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL

 

(ii)   To approve the updated list of fees and charges in paragraph 3.22.

 

REASON

 

(i)    The Council needs to acknowledge the effects that high levels of inflation will have on its financial position both in the short and medium-term. This has moved the council from what has been a long-term healthy financial position to one with predicted deficits unless action is taken on fees and charges. Given the level of uncertainty in the projections, the economy and proposed Government action, the report does not recommend direct action to reduce expenditure at this stage.

 

(ii)   To ensure these fees and charges are approved by full Council as per the constitution.
