Issue - meetings

The Director of Finance and Business Improvement introduced the report which provided an overview of the revenue budget and outturn for the third quarter of 2016/17, and highlighted financial matters which might have a material impact on the medium term financial strategy or the balance sheet.

The Director informed the Committee that progress had been made with regard to the temporary accommodation overspend which had decreased from quarter 2. Key factors in this progress were identified as the implementation of the Temporary Accommodation Strategy and a reduction in homelessness applications.

In response to a question the Director clarified that, although there was a projected overspend within the Commercial Waste Service, overall the service was performing well.

RESOLVED: That the revenue positions at the end of the third quarter, and the actions being taken or proposed to improve the position where significant variances have been identified, be noted.
