It might be politically incorrect but I will give it a go anyway. My question is on local authority and departmental budgeting processes and training and advice on budgets being limits rather than targets. It is linked to the multi-annual piece as well, that there be longer-term planning. I am talking about losing the budget as opposed to transferring into the following year. One would plan ahead in private business. Does this come up in conversation or is it outside the council's remit?
