Budget proposals 2012-13
Overview
The council has published its draft budget proposals for 2012-13 for consideration and comment.
The proposals seek to address the council's reduced funding from central government which is reducing by £70 million until 2014/15. This is the second year of savings and change - in 2012/13 the council needs to save a further £21 million.
