Decision
(i) That the SLT forecast of the full year’s outturn for the Council, made at the end of July 2024 including progress of the transformational and efficiency savings incorporated into the budget, be noted.
(ii) That the capital programme be noted.
Reason for the decision
The Council provided a mix of statutory and discretionary services to communities across Dorset and was legally required to set a balanced budget every year, and so must deliver services within the resources made available.
