Issue - meetings

To consider a report detailing the Council’s financial position for the first quarter of 2015/16.

(Report attached)

Members considered a report which detailed the Council’s financial position across the Strategic Purposes for the period April to June 2015 (Quarter 1 2015/16), which enabled Members to be aware of the level of funding attributed to these areas.

The report focussed on the position with the Revenue Budget and Officers advised that they would be looking to enhance the report over the following quarters, with capital details to be included in the next report.

In line with a commitment previously given by Members, Officers were in the process of reviewing the costs associated with enabling services.  Officers were also due to meet with Wychavon District Council and Worcestershire County Council to discuss financial issues related to civil parking enforcement.

A Member queried the variation for Lifeline and whether there was any trend in the reduction of Lifeline users.  Officers agreed to look into this and to report back to Members on the position.   

RESOLVED that

the report be noted.
