The Board received a copy of a report, which was presented to the Council’s Executive Board on 13 March 2025.  The report outlined the Council’s overall revenue and capital spending position as at 31 January 2025, together with the latest 2024/25 outturn forecast.  The report also described the reasons for key variances from budget.

The Executive Board had requested that a copy of the report be shared with each Policy and Performance Board for information, to ensure that all Members had a full appreciation of the Councilwide financial position, in addition to their specific areas of responsibility.

          Councillor Logan requested that the consideration be given to keep the Children’s Centre at Windmill Hill open.  It was agreed that the request would taken forward with the Director of Education, Inclusion and Provision and the Board would be updated in due course.

RESOLVED:  That the Councilwide financial position as at 31 January 2025, as outlined in the report, be noted.
