Content: Cabinet considered a report noting It being necessary to amend the budget setting timetable for 2025/26 to accommodate a late and uncertain provisional local government finance settlement and subsequently provide sufficient time to finalise the budget proposals for the forthcoming year. Cabinet approved the proposed revised committee timetable for the 2025/26 budget setting process. It was necessary to amend the budget setting timetable for 2025/26 to accommodate a late and uncertain provisional local government finance settlement and subsequently provide sufficient time to finalise the budget proposals for the forthcoming year. Proceeding with the usual timetable for budget setting and not amending it would have created difficulties in budget setting. This is because the Council would not have had settlement figures from government and would not have been able to proceed with the process.
