Purpose

In the 2023-24 Quarter 4 Finance and
Performance Improvement Report that was presented to the Mayor and
members of cabinet on 19th June 2024 it referred to an underspend
of £3.1m on the general fund which enables the Council to
allocate resources to provide targeted funding towards priorities,
which have been identified by our residents. In addition, a further
£0.2m is available following a review of earmarked
reserves.

One of these priorities is £800,000 targeted towards road
resurfacing, this funding is in addition to the 2023/24 and 2024/25
Network North Roads Re-surfacing Fund of £1.6m for the 2
years, matching the
annual allocation with CDC funding. This funding will be allocated
on the same basis as the Network North Roads Re-surfacing Fund and
approved in the quarterly Finance & Performance
Improvement
report.

This was fully approved at cabinet on 19th June 2024.
