This report provided the latest revenue budget monitoring position for 2019/20 for the Renewal, Recreation and Housing Portfolio based on activity up to the end of December 2019.

The report was prepared before the severity of the Covid-19 impact became apparent.  The actual financial position as at 31 December 2019 and projected costs and income to the end of the financial year were based on information available at the time of compiling the report in February and therefore exclude the impact of Covid-19.

Clarification was sought on which vacancies in the Planning Department gave rise to the £252k underspend noted in paragraph 3.2.  The Assistant Director, Planning and Building Control would be requested to circulate this information to Members.

It was agreed that the Portfolio Holder for Renewal, Recreation and Housing be requested to endorse the latest 2019/20 budget monitoring position for the Renewal, Recreation and Housing Portfolio.
