Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Funding Policy and Spending Strategy

Budget Monitoring

The Cabinet was scheduled to review the Budget Monitoring Quarter 1 - 2025/2026 report. This report would provide an overview of the council's financial performance during the first quarter of the financial year, highlighting any areas of over or underspending, and identifying potential financial risks.
