Based on expenditure and activity levels to 31st October 2015, the latest budget monitoring position for the Environment Portfolio 2015/16 showed an underspend of £162k, with the controllable budget projected to be underspent by £146k at year-end.

Details were provided of the projected outturn with a forecast of projected spend against each relevant service area compared to the latest approved budget. Background to variations was also outlined.

In discussion, the Chairman explained that if there was evidence of any Council car park being underutilised due to current parking fees this would be looked at.

An explanation was also provided for an earlier loss of income from recycled paper, the position on paper recycling having since returned to normal from mid-September.  

RESOLVED that the Environment Portfolio Holder be recommended to

endorse the latest 2015/16 budget projection for the Environment Portfolio.
