Agenda item

Initial Draft Budget 2024-25 and Medium Term Financial Plan 2024-27

Minutes:

1) Mr Oakford outlined the report.

 

2) Members comments on the following points in relation to the report:

 

·       Cabinet Members were asked to clarify what kind of recommendations or changes to the proposed budget they would be ‘open to’. Advice was given to committee members that this was their opportunity to make suggestions on the budget but Members should bear in mind when making suggestions that largescale decisions such as bringing all SEND home-to-school transport in-house were not able to be undertaken ‘overnight’.

·       A Member suggested that savings should be made for home-to-school transport by ‘stopping taxis ripping [KCC] off’.

·       A Member suggested that KCC adopt the network of speed cameras in order to receive the revenue from Transport Management Penalties.

 

3) RESOLVED to note the initial draft capital and revenue budgets including responses to the consultation.
