Minutes:
Cabinet considered the interim head of finance’s budget monitoring report. This looked at the council’s budget position for the period April 2020 to January 2021. This showed a revenue underspend and capital programme underspend, as detailed in the report’s public and exempt appendices. During the period, the council’s main priority was to provide a strong local response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This had resulted in the diversion of resources and the consequent reduction in work on other priorities. Cabinet thanked officers for their work during these unprecedented times.
RESOLVED: to note the contents of the interim head of finance’s report to Cabinet on 18 March 2021.
