Budget savings progressing well, but pressures continue

11 September 2024

On 18 September 2024 Cabinet will consider a report which details the progress of our savings plans and our budget position for the first 3 months of this financial year.


The report will highlight that the delivery of savings is on track in most areas but continuing demand and cost pressures, mainly in adults' and children's social care services, could result in a forecast overspend of just over £20 million for 2024 to 2025.

Departments are developing alternative savings proposals

In the areas where it is possible that the savings targets will not be met, departments are currently developing alternative savings proposals to ensure the targets can be met, and the total savings needed can be delivered.
