Consultation process
All Opposition and Minority Group Spokespersons and Ward Members (where appropriate) have been consulted on the recommendations of the report and their responses are set out below and in the Cabinet Member Decision Note.
Cllr Kevin Small (Opposition Group) – No response received
Cllr Oliver Donachie – ‘The cyclical nature of the recommendations makes this document impossible to provide any meaningful input to. The document seeks confirmation that the Cabinet member “Agrees that the Council’s share of the estimated deficit on the council tax element of the Collection Fund as at 31st March 2021 is £778k” . There is no evidence to show this calculation is accurate but seems to be a forecast and not a factual statement, therefore, if the Cabinet member wishes to accept this on face value the risk of doing so sits solely with him as per his primary role function to “Ensure the Council achieves Financial Sustainability.” I wish him the best of luck with this matter.’
Cllr Stan Pajak – No response received.
Portfolio Holder / Cabinet Member: Councillor Russell Holland, Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Commercialisation, Education and Skills
