Decision details

That:

1.  The latest projected overspend of £1,792,000 forecast on the controllable budget, based on information as at September 2020, be noted;

2.  The release of the carry forward funding as set out in section 5 of the report be agreed.

The Resources, Contracts and Commissioning Portfolio Plan includes the aim of effective monitoring and control of expenditure within budget and includes the target that each service department will spend within its own budget.  The four year financial forecast report highlights the financial pressures facing the Council. It remains imperative that strict budgetary control continues to be exercised in 2020/21 to minimise the risk of compounding financial pressures in future years.
