Q3 The required savings in 2023/24 due to reduction in funding from
government

For the 2023/24 budget, the Council was required to identify and agree a
number of savings for a variety of reasons, such as pressures resulting
from increased service demand, inflationary pressures, pay and pension
increases and energy price rises. The full list of savings was reported to
Policy & Resources Committee meeting on 13^th February 2023, agenda item
111, appendix 1, and later agreed at Budget Council on 27^th February 203,
minute 82.
