A report by the Deputy Chief Executive/Director of Finance presented a review of Treasury Management activities during the second quarter of 2011/12 and confirmed compliance with treasury limits and prudential indicators. The report had been prepared in accordance with the revised CIPFA Treasury Management Code and the revised Prudential Code.

RESOLVED: That

(1)  the Treasury Management Performance Monitoring Report be noted; and

(2)  the Treasury Management Strategy be revised to allow the continued use of the Natwest Bank, for short term liquidity requirements (overnight and weekends) and business continuity arrangements, despite it no longer meeting the Council’s minimum credit criteria.
