Joint report of the Chamberlain and Director of Markets and Consumer Protection.

Members considered a joint report of the Chamberlain and Director of Markets and Consumer Protection concerning the revenue budgets for the Licensing Committee for 2021/22.

Members were informed that the main change was the reduction of £57k which was largely the Department’s 12% target of savings as required. The impact of these savings on fee income will continue to be reviewed.

RESOLVED – That Members:-

·         review and approve the proposed revenue budget for 2021/22 for submission to Finance Committee;

·         authorise the Chamberlain, in consultation with the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection to revise these budgets to allow for any further implications arising from subsequently approved savings proposals, and amended 2021/22 pay award; and

·         agree that amendments for 2020/21 and 2021/22 budgets arising from changes to recharges during budget setting be delegated to the Chamberlain.
