Agenda item - Budget Planning

28.1           The Chair referred that the report that was released annually for new budget plans and stated that it did impinge on residents through the Estate Development Budget. He then questioned if residents would like to repeat this year’s process of the successful working groups.

28.2           Residents responded that the working group had run better than previous years and gained detailed information on the shrunken budget.

28.3           The Chair noted there had been lots of discussion that had not involved tenants. He recommended that meeting working group involvement occurred three times over a three week period and should in future be spread over the year and be independent of Area Housing Panels.

28.4           RESOLVED: That the Panel noted the report.
