If there was risk of them needing to go back to council for more money, and there are projects on the list that haven't been started, that could free up said money.. they could just cancel those ones to free up the funds. bam, no need for adjustment. 000
Cassandra @bunnysmash.bsky.social · 08/10/2026There must be a memo somewhere then that we aren't aware of. From a slightly more than average in the know, it sounds like it's worse than they've let on publicly if Rutherford is pushing that an adjustment is coming.
