Draft 2026/27 revenue budget and capital programme
Cabinet noted that the fire authority's proposed budget increase adds a £94k cost pressure, equal to about a 0.2% Council Tax rise.

Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
