  Report FSD23026

The report provided the second revenue budget monitoring position for 2022/23 for the Renewal, Recreation and Housing Portfolio based on expenditure and activity levels for Quarter 2 of the 2022/23 financial year.

In response to a question from a Member, the Assistant Director: Housing advised that there had not been an increase in the number of Section-21 no-fault evictions in Bromley in recent months.  The Chairman asked about maintenance issues impacting Bromley’s traveller sites and the Assistant Director: Housing explained that the Local Authority worked closely with a specialist Traveller Liaison organisation to ensure that the needs of these communities continued to be met.  This included addressing identified maintenance issues and securing appropriate management arrangements going forward, which could include use of an external management service.

RESOLVED: That the Portfolio Holder be recommended to note the projected net overspend of £805k on controllable expenditure based on information as at December 2022.
