Minutes:

The Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance presented the financial monitoring report and highlighted that the projected overspend of just under £2m for 2018/19 which represented 0.36% of the Council’s overall budget, which was a relatively small part of that budget.  He thanked all those involved in writing the report for budgeting effectively.

 

The Director of Corporate Services advised that the income report was showing an improvement and page 27 of the report showed improvement in deliverability of savings.  The report would also be considered by the Financial Monitoring Task Group.
