Decision details

¾    To accept the information in the report and to note the progress towards realising the savings schemes for 2020/21, 2019/20 and previous years.

¾     To approve the alternative plans outlined in Section 6 and Appendix 5 to replace the historic schemes that cannot be delivered.

¾     It was noted that the impact of Covid-19 has contributed to a slippage in the savings programme, as the Council has given the utmost priority to safeguarding the health and lives of the people of Gwynedd in response to the crisis, which means that it was not possible to continue with the performance challenging and savings arrangements during the crisis period.

¾     To support the intention of the Chief Executive and Head of Finance Department to meet with each Cabinet Member and their Head of Department, to discuss how it will be possible to resume the procedure of delivering the proposed savings, so that the Council can proceed with a proportion of the savings programme, despite the crisis.
