REVENUE BUDGET 2022/23 AND CAPITAL PROGRAMME 2022/23 – 2024/25 AND SETTING THE COUNCIL TAX FOR EACH CATEGORY OF DWELLING IN THE COUNCIL’S AREA FOR 2022/23

Report of Director of Resources enclosed.

Minutes:

Consideration was given to the written report of the Director of Resources concerning the budget for 2022/23 and the setting of the different amounts of Council Tax for different parts of the Council’s area where special items applied (Parish Precepts).

 

The report set out the budget summary of the financial year 2022/2023 which contained details of revenue and capital requirements. Approval of the budget proposals contained in the report was proposed by Councillor S Atkinson and seconded by Councillor S Hore.

 

The Leader presented his budget speech outlining the key economic issues that had been taken into account in setting the budget. He was pleased that it was proposed to remove the 12% reduction in support to working age local council tax support claimants.

 

As a consequence, Policy and Finance Committee had recommended a £5 increase in Council Tax for the financial year 2022/23.

 

The Leader recommended the Council’s budget and Council Tax for 2022/2023.

 

The Leader expressed his thanks for the time and effort Committee, Officers and the Budget Working Group had dedicated to achieving the budget as presented.

 

In supporting the proposals, Councillor Fletcher hoped that the Council would retain ownership of the Over 60’s premises in Longridge and the former Salvation Army premises in Clitheroe. He also hoped that the Council’s Discretionary Council TaxRebate funding would be targeted at those most vulnerable residents.
