The Council has approved the 2020/21 budget for 2020/21. We continue to face financial pressures as a result of a reduction in our central government Revenue Support Grant from £42 million to £6.5 million in the last seven years and increasing demand on high cost services such as social care. The Council needed to find £10.5 million of savings to balance next year’s budget – so difficult decisions had to be made.
Over 870 people and organisations responded to the consultation. As a result of the feedback, the Cabinet amended its proposals and these have now been approved. Details can be found in the Cabinet’s response below.
