The council finances for the next four years are under scrutiny at next week’s Finance and Resources Committee meeting. The plan is to use the already agreed transformational programme to make savings. But the council now need to make more savings than previously thought. At the beginning of the year they quoted a figure of £107m to be saved over four years but now that has risen to £126m and they want to save an extra £15m as a contingency.
