The Council of Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council is scheduled to meet on Tuesday 4 August 2026. The meeting's agenda includes a review of the council's achievements against its Corporate Plan for 2025-2026, and a presentation of the draft financial outturn for the same period. Additionally, councillors will consider an appointment to a charitable body.

Summary of Achievements to the Corporate Plan 2025-2026

The Council will be presented with a summary of key corporate achievements made against the Corporate Plan 2025-2026. This report aims to inform councillors of the progress made by various services over the past year, aligning with the council's vision of creating great places to live, work and enjoy. The Corporate Plan itself, which covers the period 2024-2028, outlines priorities, goals, and ambitions under three key themes: People, Places, and Prosperity. The report details achievements across these themes, including improvements to housing stock, efforts to prevent homelessness, delivery of cost-of-living support programmes, and work to deliver local skills and employment initiatives. Under the Places theme, achievements include progress on the new Local Plan, improvements to green spaces, and opposition to inappropriate development such as the Hinckley National Rail Freight Interchange proposal. The Prosperity theme highlights efforts to boost economic growth, support town centres, and encourage inward investment. The report also details supporting activities, such as providing quality services and making the best use of council assets, with specific metrics on tenant satisfaction and social media engagement.

Financial Outturn 2025-26

A key item on the agenda is the presentation of the draft financial outturn for the 2025-26 financial year. This report will provide members with an overview of the council's financial performance, detailing expenditure against the budget for both the General Fund and the Housing Revenue Account. It will also cover the Capital Programme outturn for both funds. The report includes detailed tables outlining variances between the original budget, the revised budget, and the draft outturn, highlighting areas of underspend or overspend. Specific attention is given to the General Fund, with a summary of service expenditure and funding positions. The report also details requested carry-forwards of budgets into the next financial year, additional budget approvals for specific initiatives, and movements to and from earmarked reserves and balances. The Housing Revenue Account and Housing Repairs Account outturns are also presented, along with details of HRA reserves. The Capital Programme outturn for both the General Fund and HRA is outlined, including proposed carry-forwards for ongoing projects.

Appointment to Charitable Body: JCC Foundation Trust

The Council is scheduled to consider an appointment to the JCC Foundation Trust. This item involves appointing a representative to serve on the Trust for a period of three years, commencing in August 2026.
