2) Reasons for the decision

2.1 Cabinet has requested that service budgets be prepared within the budget guidelines confirmed by Cabinet in October 2008 for approval by Executive members and submitted to the Leader and Cabinet for consideration in February 2009. Proposals need to be submitted to the Cabinet on 6 February 2009 in order to influence decisions on the 2009/10 to 2011/12 budget and council tax.

3) Other options considered and rejected:
