Report of the Cabinet Member Finance and Assets

RESOLVED THAT:

1.    The contents of this report be noted, including the key projected variances to the COVID-19 recovery revised 2020/21 budget approved by Council on 16 November 2020 and the expected delivery of services within budget;

2.    It be noted that these variances have been incorporated into the revised budget 2020/21 for approval by Full Council on 22 February 2021.

The Cabinet Member Finance and Assets presented the report, noted that it related to the budget period up to December 2020 and compared the current situation to the emergency budget passed in November. He thanked the Head of Finance, Gemma Bell, for her work in putting the report together. He acknowledged that the second and third national lockdowns had cost the council around a net £100k, but noted that this was less than could have been expected given the circumstances.

The Leader moved to a vote, where it was unanimously:
