Issue - meetings

Further to the Council’s budget requirements for 2010/11 agreed by the Council on 20th January 2010, Members received a report of the Head of Financial Services with regard to the setting of the Council Tax for 2010/11.

The Chairman announced that the meeting would be adjourned for around ten minutes to allow Members to peruse the papers which had been made available immediately prior to the meeting. The lateness of the papers was due to the timescale for the receipt of precept information.

Having reconvened the meeting, the recommendations were moved by Councillor G. N. Denaro and seconded by Councillor R. Hollingworth.
