RESOLVED THAT:

The Budget Timetable as set out in Appendix One be approved.

Reason for decision: Publishing a timetable for setting the budget makes the Council’s financial planning clear and open. It helps Members, staff, and the public see important dates and understand when things will happen. This means everyone has enough time to look at the plans and give their views. By showing when decisions will be taken and when people can get involved, the timetable makes sure the process is straightforward, fair, and easy for everyone to follow.
