The annual Budget council meeting for West Sussex County Council has been postponed

Following guidance from Met Office, the meeting has been postponed until Monday 28 February at 10.30am.

The main business for debate by all councillors is the Council’s budget, capital strategy and treasury management strategy, including setting the level of Council Tax for the year ahead.

The full council meeting will be held at County Hall, Chichester.

Councillors will also receive the annual pay policy statement for approval and will look at minor changes to Rights of Way procedures and to Council Standing Orders.

If time allows councillors will also ask questions of the Council’s leader and cabinet on matters of interest across the county.
