2 Presentation grant settlement overall position process of reviewing growth and savings main variations analysis of budget and employees
3 Grant settlement 2007/08 second year of two year settlement grant increase of 3.6%, as expected more than inflation (pay and prices £7.7m or 2.9%) but overall increase in current policies needed is a much bigger rise of £17.1m (6.3%)
4 Cash increase 2007/08 Difference of £9.4m arises from full year effect of PCSOs (£5.8m, net) pay increments (£3.6m) Council tax rise of 13%, but reductions required of £5.6m down to capping limit of 5%
5 Settlement concerns reduction in planned growth of PCSOs (difficult to achieve the level of neighbourhood policing expected with 206 fewer officers than planned) excellent record in efficiency savings (£14m in 2005/06 against target of £8m) cuts required now to bridge the gap, and meet new pressures (neighbourhood policing, custody centres and professional standards)
