Saving cash - woooohooo!

Was delighted to receive a cabinet report from the council that tells me the forecast costs have recently dropped - and it looks like the transitional costs may be £500,000 less than originally forecast.

But just before I celebrated I notice this killer line...it may be "because projects do not deliver during the latter part of the year resulting in slippage into 2009-2010".

Which is interesting. Because transitional costs couldn't be met from Council Tax rises....but can they be if the dates slip and it's no longer a "transitional" project?

Must keep an eye on that.
