Budget discussions ongoing

The Administration Group on the Council - a coalition of the 8 Labour Councillors, Independent Ronnie Ahlfeld and Conservative David Wilson - met tonight for the second in a serious of budget discussions in the lead up to the setting of the Council's 2010/11 budget next month.

Due to our prudent approach to financial management in the past two budgets the Council is projecting a relatively good position for 2010/11, which will allow us to freeze the Council Tax for the third year running and continue to invest in our schools and leisure facilities and the regeneration of our waterfront. We will also use the 2010/11 budget as a platform for addressing the significant savings targets that we are likely to face over the following years.
