Minutes:

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.
