    Does anyone have any comments on the 2025 budget? As a minimum I feel it could do with a comment against most lines explaining the calculation behind it and details of what the expenditure is for and whether a quote has been received. Even better would be 'notes' like you see in a set of accounts which provided additional information to help understand and (if we needed to) to offer challenge against the plans and costs. I still feel there is more to do in the communication of what the Council is trying to achieve and this information would help a great deal.

    I received the business plan and budget as a forward from one of our Reps and agree that the budget lacks detail. But I suspect that is because it is a budget plan rather than accounts so people have put in what they think they are likely to spend without yet having firm costs for activities across the coming year.
    Potentially as the year progresses a quarterly or half year update could then include detail of actual spend and remaining budget per line with any update on the likelihood of spending the remaining budget or any expected overspends in an area.
    I don’t see anything particular concerning or particularly new in the planned budget or the planned activities but, as expected, a kind of step up in the level of Ringing 2030 activities being initiated.

    That's a sensible suggestion. In many cases at the budgetary stage it will be a wet finger guess, but some indication of the thinking behind it would be helpful.
