No, that is the recommend Target that the Council have agreed themselves, as a budgeted Council Tax collection rate of 97.0%. Doesn't actually mean they'll achieve it.

Bearing in mind that in 2018/19 the council over spent £16.5M on children’s social care, clearly that Division within the Council can't manage its own own budget. How hard is it really to monitor actual against planned expenditure on a monthly basis?? Clearly it's not rocket science.

In fact, I'd happily go through each division by division, department by department, team by team to identify all wasteful expenditure and ask the difficult questions which clearly they are unable to do themselves.

Councillors, YOU should be holding Council Officers to account for their actions or their lack of accountability.

What's the value gained from the production, printing and distribution of that glossy waste of space magazine Lewisham Life, Answer, NONE, first saving DONE.
