Earmarked reserves of £303.9m were available from 1 April 2024, and the budget approved in March 2024 included the proposed use of reserves totalling £155.7m. There has been a significant increase in the planned use of earmarked reserves of £30.5m and the general fund reserve is forecast to remain at £66.6m. This is a significant reduction in reserves levels. Is the projected reserves level sufficient to tackle unforeseen events like the ones we have seen in the last few years such as the cost of living crisis and the significant increase in protests across the capital?
