Cabinet received a report containing an update on the Budget reduction requirement for 2018/19 which reflected details of the provisional local government settlement. It was reported that the provisional settlement set out a cash increase on AEF of 0.2% which included a new responsibility relating to homelessness prevention. The report outlined details of the current budget reduction requirement of £22.8 million which would need to be met by a combination of budget savings, caps to schools’ growth, increases in Council Tax and use of reserves. It was proposed that consultation take place on proposed budget savings and a programme of consultation and engagement was contained within the report.
