To enable Cabinet to give consideration to recommendations made by the Corporate Management Committee in respect of the above.

Cabinet endorses the recommendations of the Corporate Management Committee.

Cabinet was informed that, at its meeting held on 28 November 2016, the Corporate Management Committee had discussed the outcomes of the Portfolio Holder working parties, which had been formed to develop the budget in accordance with the Council’s Budget and Policy Framework.

The Committee Members of the Corporate Management Committee had discussed various items and had given a number of suggestions that could be taken up for the necessary savings.  Those had included:

·                involving Town and Parish Councils in taking over the running of facilities in their areas;

·                residents’ parking scheme;

·                whether bringing contracts back in-house would make savings;

·                charging to use public conveniences and prioritising the closure of some public conveniences where there is significant vandalism;

·                the reduction of the Council’s maintenance budget; and

·                the cost of re-charging the new beaches over the next ten years.

The Corporate Management Committee had also agreed to make recommendations to Cabinet as follows:

(a)        the Council should consider introducing charging for the use of public

            conveniences where it can be achieved; and

(b)     the Council should work with Town and Parish Councils to see whether Town and Parish Councils could take over some assets within their parishes.

Having considered the recommendations of the Corporate Management Committee:-

It was moved by Councillor G V Guglielmi, seconded by Councillor Turner and:

RESOLVED that Cabinet endorses the recommendations of the Corporate Management Committee.
