Noted that in accordance with approved policy as
described in Section 6 any actual overspend
at year end will in the first instance be deducted from any
Portfolio Reserve balance and once depleted then be deducted from
the 2026/27 Cash Limit.

Agreed that Directors, in consultation with the appropriate Cabinet
Member, consider options that seek to minimise any forecast
overspending presently being reported and prepare strategies
outlining how any consequent reduction to the 2026/27 Portfolio
cash limit will be managed to avoid further overspending during
2026/27.
