I have a few questions. In its opening statement, the council says that spending overruns from last year were not taken into account when budgeting for 2025 and that this has been a repeated issue in recent years. That seems like a very basic thing to be happening. I cannot understand why it is happening. Do our guests have any quick answers as to why that is happening?
