Minutes:

The Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance presented the report, thanking the officers involved for compiling the information.  He welcomed the good practice which had helped with the planning for the budget.  He highlighted the concerns over the financial pressures on the Council which had led to some growth proposed in the budget item.  Overall the Council was projecting a small underspend which was welcomed. 

 

The Director of Corporate Services drew Cabinet’s attention to the capital adjustments proposed, which was usual for month 8.  The DSG deficit had increased from last month due to the continued pressure of additional young people requiring Education Health and Care Plans.

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.    That Cabinet note the financial reporting data for month 8, November 2019, relating to revenue budgetary control, showing a forecast net underspend at year-end of £378k, -0.1% of gross budget.

2.    That Cabinet note the contents of Section 4 and the amendments to the Capital Programme contained in Appendix 5b and approve the amendments in the Table below:
