So an overspend of £9.6M actually becomes an overspend of £15.6M. The council has its reserves, why did they not use some of that to reduce the burdensome increase in council tax?

Obviously pure incompetence within the council resulted in such an overspend. In any commercial business it would not be tolerated and heads would roll. But this is the public sector and god forbid anyone takes responsibility, rather they come up with excuse after excuse, including results would not be seen this year but instead in the next financial year.

What is the expected overspend for that year then?

What is even more amusing is that the councillors are bickering at the public meeting, leading to it being suggested that unless they behave. they'll be asked to leave the meeting. That's what you get with one party democracy, "NOT".
