Draft 2024/25 budget: committee scrutiny of proposals
The committee agreed to recommend three points to Cabinet, which considers the budget on 20 February 2024. It asked that the proposal to remove the separate AHP collection is not counted as a saving; that integrated impact assessments (checks on how a proposal affects people) are carried out on the savings proposals; and that more detail is given on proposals such as public conveniences and limiting the number of black bags collected from each household.
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.
