'It is going to mean taking away from frontline services'
Labour-run Nottingham City Council is now forecast to be hit with a £13m gap compared to its initial budget predictions. This "frightening position", which is likely to impact frontline services for the people of the city, is largely down to an upcoming 10% pay rise for council workers which would cost the authority £6.9m.
"There are plenty of authorities that are giving reports like this. Largely, as in a lot of other local authorities, that would be based on the local government pay settlement. "I don't think there is anyone in this room that wouldn't want to see our hard-working staff get a pay rise, but we also need to be able to fund that from our budgets and we need the Government to accept and to resource this and to recognise not doing that will have a severe impact on council budgets and our ability to give our citizens what they deserve and need."
Growth and city development is a further £1.8m adverse, with £800,000 of this coming from inflationary pressures on nightly costs for bed and breakfast and temporary accommodation for those who are homeless. Further budget variances, the council says, come from "increased energy disposal costs, Broadmarsh rental income and contributions from Bridge Estate."
"We are seeing these impacts on our budgets just like Nottingham citizens are seeing these impacts on their budgets."
