ReplyDeletePage 101 Para 3.6 of the Council Budget papers explains it all really.
" It is recommended that NO WITHDRAWAL from general reserves is made to support the base budget in the medium term"
I dont think it says there is a withdrawal from general reserves. I think it says that the Conservative budget held on to a pool of funds for unknown requirements for reasons of prudence as far as I can see. And Labour just couldn't resist dipping into it at the first opportunity - just like they always do!
