This report set out the Council's draft
revenue budget for 2004/2005 based upon the Council's financial
strategy which was agreed by Cabinet in September 2003. The
proposals also took account of the current revenue budget
monitoring position and of the financial strategy
adjustments.
The Cabinet agreed to forward the provisional
draft budget and summary business plans to Overview and Scrutiny as
work in progress inviting them to offer comments on the proposals
outlined.
The Cabinet agreed to seek a meeting, including the three local MPs
if possible, with the Minister for Local and Regional Government
(Nick Raynsford MP), regarding the provisional financial
settlement.
It is the responsibility of Cabinet to develop
draft budget proposals for consideration by Overview and Scrutiny
Committees. These draft proposals are the first stage of the budget
consultation process leading to further discussion by Cabinet and
formal council tax setting on 19 February 2004.
