The
Cabinet had before it a report * from the Deputy Chief Executive
(S151) Officer and the Head of Finance, Property and Climate
Resilience on the draft Budget 2026/27.
 
RESOLVED that:
 

The
amber budget options remained as budget planning assumptions until
clarity was received following the Government financial settlement
announcement and that was AGREED.
Consideration and comments were given regarding the emerging
Capital Programme covering the period 2026/27 to 2030/31 within
Appendix 1a and 1b;
There remained
little clarity on the financial settlement currently and that this
was likely to require additional ad hoc updates as and when greater
information was known, particularly following the announcement of
the Local Government Finance Settlement
be NOTED
