Decision

DECISIONS

1. That the financial performance against the budget for the quarter ending 30th June 2026 be accepted.
2. That the additional budget expenditure of £329,036 detailed within the report and the increased forecast contribution of £369,764 from General Fund balances be approved.
3. That the irrecoverable debts outlined in the report be written off.

Reasons:

1. It is good practice that Members have oversight of the Council’s financial performance at regular points during the financial year. 
2. To recognise movements in the call on reserves and balances to date, along with potential variances in establishment costs and key income streams that may arise between now and the end of the financial year.
