Committee to examine £5.9 million overspend in council’s Children’s Services for first eight months of year
Members of the Safeguarding, Communities & Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee will examine the reasons why Children’s Services are reporting an overspend of £5.9m for eight months of the financial year.
The broad issue of the overspend recently surfaced during public budget discussions, where questions were raised by Cllr Dana Davies over who ‘signed it off’. Last month when the budget was discussed again the matter raised where Cllr Davies referred to an £8m overspend figure – substantially more than in the report before councillors next week.
