Issue - meetings

Notice of items to be raised under this heading must be given in writing to the Deputy Director Democratic & Corporate Governance or their representative in accordance with Standing Order 60.

There were no items of urgent business.

Following on from the update provided within the Q3 Financial Forecast, Councillor Mili Patel (as Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance & Resources) took the opportunity to remind residents that consultation on the Council’s budget proposals for 2026-27 remained open until 30 January 2026.

It was hoped as many residents, business and local partners as possible would be able to participate in the consultation to ensure their views were shared on the local priorities identified in relation to investment, savings and future operation of the Council in advance of the final budget proposals being presented to Cabinet in February 2026 and then referred on to Council for formal approval.
