Regular members of this forum will know I have been warning of this since November. The problem isnt just with last years budget. In February the Council set an "unbalanced" budget which contained 600,000 pounds worth of uncertain income predictions which, as far as I know, have not been fully examined, as the then Chair of Scrutiny Committee wouldn't allow them to be questioned.
It can only be that the previous administration rode rough shod over the professional advice of officers, who have now been left to pick up the pieces with the new administration.
Don't blame the officers.
