West Sussex County Council has forecast that it will overspend its 2022/23 budget by just under £9.5m.

The figure, which is £1.9m higher than what was predicted in June, was shared during a meeting of the cabinet in late November.

A report to the meeting showed that children’s services was looking at an overspend of just over £9m, with another £1.2m overspend for learning & skills, and £1.1m for highways & transport.
