A resident (Rosemary Johnson) would be provided with an update in the January meeting regarding the increase in costs of individual contracts.	Ododo	Each individual contract has specific terms about potential cost increases. This will vary depending on the contract, the nature of the work, and any industry standards in place for that scope of works. Otherwise annual increases are often linked to the rate of inflation. The increase in cost we have identified as a budget pressure is an anticipated increase in contractor costs resulting from the inflation in material and labour costs currently being experience in the construction industry.
