As a result of the consultation Cabinet chose to:
- Drop proposals for on-street parking charges
- Significantly reduce the cuts to Countryside Access
- Drop the proposal to stop paying Recycling Credits
Cabinet also took on board the message about the importance of preventative services and is trying hard to protect these where possible.
Full Council will vote on the draft budget on 17 February.
