To consider a report of the Executive Member for Finance and Corporate Director of Finance and Systems.

The Executive Member for Finance and the Corporate Director of Finance and Systems submitted a report which informed Members of the current 2018/19 forecast outturn figures relating to both Revenue and Capital budgets. It also summarised the latest forecast position for Council Tax and Business Rates within the Collection Fund. An opportunity was provided for Members to ask questions on the content of the report. These concentrated on significant variances in Children’s Social Care budgets, some of which were identified as reflecting with national and regional trends, and related in part to decisions taken by the courts.

RESOLVED – That the report and the changes to the Capital Programme as detailed in paragraph 16 be noted.
