The Director of Resources introduced this report which provided Members with an overview of budget performance for the Committee’s area of activity. The financial information details the year-end revenue and capital outturn position, as reported at quarter 4 (Apr-Mar) 2020/21. The accounts remained subject to final audit.

There had been a £7.2 million overspend on revenue for number of reasons including an overspend in community patrol. There had also been favourable factors including savings from not hosting events which helped offset loss of income from golf, libraries and leisure centres. There had been some Government compensation for loss of income which amounted to around 75% of losses in eligible income.

Resolved -

That the year-end revenue outturn position of £7.256m adverse and the performance of the capital programme, as reported at quarter 4 (Apr-Mar) of 2020/21 be noted.
