"In the meeting, it became clear under which framework conditions a budget for 2026 can be adopted - and that a resolution is possible in principle," explained City Treasurer Thomas Wulf the day after the committee meeting.

The budget bylaws will now be decided by the Beckum City Council on 5 March. According to the current status, a significantly increased global reduction in expenditure of around 1.4 million euros is planned as a general savings mandate for the administration. "The administration now clearly knows what is expected of it," says Wulf. The budget freeze has therefore been lifted.
