Minutes:
Members noted that the General Fund net revenue expenditure was in line with budget, and there was a small increase in reserves over the year. This was encouraging, after years of having to draw down reserves to fund past mistakes.
The General Fund capital programme was £4.2 million underspent as capital projects were not progressed as quickly as planned. Many of these projects have external funding attached to them, which remains in place, despite the delays.
The Housing Revenue Account surplus of £1.4 million was largely due to reduced revenue funding of the capital programme. The HRA capital programme was underspent in the areas of Housing Intervention and New Builds.
Councillors I. Gregory and Councillor Bayford spoke under Council Procedure Rule 20.1.
