Panel Recommendations to Cabinet To consider and confirm the Panel recommendations to Cabinet on the Draft Medium-Term Financial Strategy 2025-2030, the Draft 2025-2026 Budget and Capital Programme for 2025-2030. Minutes: Panel recommendations to Cabinet noted as follows:
1. There was little evidence that the Sustainable Powys programme would reducethe future years funding gaps, as reported in the FRM.Delivery of service transformation needed to be accelerated. 2. This budget held the highest level of risk in recent years. The Finance Panel remain unconvinced that there was sufficient mitigation if all risk materialised. 3. Re-evaluate the current cost of delivery for Net Zero, due to economic and infrastructure issues.Powys’ ambitions should be driven by external funding streams as the Finance Panel questioned the affordability of such projects. 4. Work to be completed on the impact of Post 16 cross-border movement.However greater clarity on the impact on schools' transformation changes that lead to children and young people accessing Education in other Local Authorities on the RSG and specific grant funding to Powys. |
