Agenda item

To consider the report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services and the Chamberlain.

The Board considered the report of the Director of Community & Children's Services.

Members noted that some realignment might be needed once a strategy was finalised in early 2024.

Referencing the £49K increase shown in the table 1 summary and the maternity leave figures set out in paragraph 9 of the report, a Member asked whether that was an acceptable position given the current inflation figures. The meeting heard that the same position was being faced across the CoLC, noting that efficiencies were being sought in order to maintain the CoLC’s service provision.  

RESOLVED, That the provisional revenue budget for 2024/25 be approved for subsequent submission to the Finance Committee, recognising that further revisions may arise from the necessary realignment of funds resulting from decisions at Policy & Resources Committee.
