Report back on Newcastle City Cabinet meeting 28th January 2015 by Cllrs Wendy Taylor and Greg Stone
As the Opposition group on the city council, the Lib Dems are allowed two "observer" places at Cabinet meetings. We generally ask more questions to officers and the leader about council policy and performance than the Labour cabinet members, or the deputy cabinet members, who we believe add little value for money. At this meeting Cllr Greg Stone and Cllr Wendy Taylor were the Opposition observers The main items for discussion were the council's funding settlement report, covering the council's estimated financial allocations from Government, the family services review, covering new arrangements for the city's Sure Start services for under 5s, and reports on Your Homes Newcastle housing issues. * Funding Settlement We accept the council's financial situation in terms of reductions to Government funding remains difficult and we have supported the council's submission to Government calling for a fairer funding distribution. However, we continue to question aspects of the presentation of the council's finances
