A report of the Cabinet Member Finance

The Mayor to propose that a recorded vote is held on any significant decision relating to this agenda item (including any amendments) as set out in Part 4A – Council Procedures Rule 14.5 as required by the ‘Local Authorities (Standing Orders) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2014’.

The Cabinet Member Finance introduced the report, the purpose of which was to enable the Council to set the Council Tax for 2014/15. The Council agreed its budget and level of Council Tax for 2014/15 at a meeting on 14 February 2014 and now it was required formally to approve the total Council Tax for residents of Cheltenham, including the Council Tax requirements of the precepting organisations, Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) and Gloucestershire Police.

The Cabinet Member Finance highlighted an error at Table E, Appendix 2 of the report in terms of the Council tax increase for the parish of Swindon Village which should read 7.61 %.

A recorded vote having been requested, upon a vote the recommendation in the report was unanimously CARRIED.
