Matter for Decision

This report presented details of anticipated variances from budgets, where resources were requested to be carried forward into the 2022/23 financial year in order to undertake or complete activities anticipated to have taken place in 2021/22.

Decision of Executive Councillor for Finance and Resources

      i.         Agreed the provisional carry forward requests, totalling £579,010 as detailed in Appendix A of the Officer’s report, recommended to Council to approve, subject to the final outturn position.

Reason for the Decision

As set out in the Officer’s report.

Any Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

Not applicable.

Scrutiny Considerations

The Committee considered a report from the Head of Finance.

In response to a question on the underspend on Finance General (p39, appendix A) and whether that meant that services had not been delivered as budgeted, the Head of Finance advised this information would be provided outside of the meeting as the cost centre was a mix of different corporate amounts and she would have to look at the detail.  

The Committee unanimously resolved by 4 votes to 0 to endorse the recommendation.

The Executive Councillor approved the recommendation.

Conflicts of Interest Declared by the Executive Councillor (and any Dispensations Granted)

No conflicts of interest were declared by the Executive Councillor.
