Report FSD21054

The report provided the first revenue budget monitoring position for 2021/22 for the Renewal, Recreation and Housing Portfolio based on expenditure and activity levels for the first quarter of the financial year.

In response to a question concerning evictions, the Director of Housing, Planning and Regeneration reported that the Council had been undertaking pre-emptive work with partners to ensure support was in place.  Some tenants at risk of eviction had not engaged and there was a delay with the Courts which meant it was hard to predict when the changes would impact the service.

The Committee noted that an update on Building Control would be provided in November’s thematic Session.

RESOLVED: That the Portfolio Holder be recommended to

1.  Endorse the 2021/22 revenue budget monitoring for the Renewal, Recreation and Housing Portfolio.

2.  Confirm agreement to the drawdown from Central Contingency of the carry forward budgets set out in Appendix 1A.
