December Cabinet meeting date change

17 October 2025

West Northamptonshire Council has moved its December Cabinet meeting from Wednesday 10 December to Monday 22 December.

We recognise this date is close to Christmas and may cause some inconvenience. However, it is important that Cabinet considers the draft budget with the full picture of Government funding.

This year, there is still uncertainty around the level of grant we will receive through the Government’s Fair Funding review. The details are expected in mid-December, and moving the meeting allows Cabinet to make well-informed decisions before the draft budget goes out for consultation.

We hope colleagues and partners will understand that this change is about being transparent, responsible and making sure the decisions we take are well-informed.

Councillor John Slope, Cabinet Member for Finance
