Budget preparations

Amidst all the Local Elections planning, and endless referendum discussions, normal Council business continues --- with the 2012/13 annual budget for the Local Authority about to be set on Thursday 9th February 2012: only a few weeks away!

Of course, that budget will be inherited by any incoming Administration after the 3rd May Council Elections --- so, the whole process has taken on an added-significance this year.

Our Group has plans well advanced and, as in recent previous years, I will publish the detail of our Opposition Budget as soon as possible --- and certainly before we actually get to the 9th February.
