Decision details

The Cabinet supported RECOMMEDED to Council:

(1)       The government offer of a multi-year settlement to 2019/20 announced on 17 December 2015, be accepted

(2)       That in accepting the offer of a multi-year settlement, the Efficiency Plan clearly states that the Plan outlines the method by which the Council will pursue its necessary savings in response to both its cost pressures and government funding reductions but that there is no implied acceptance that those cost pressures and government funding reductions can be achieved through efficiencies alone without significant detriment to service provision.

(NB this is referred to Council and is therefore not subject to call-in._
