DECISIONS

1.     That the financial performance against the budget for the quarter ending 31st December 2025 be accepted.

2.     That the forecast contribution of £240, 689 to General Fund balances be accepted as set out in paragraph 4.6 of the report. 

3.     That the irrecoverable debts set out in paragraph 4.5 of the report be authorised to be written off.

Reasons:

1.     It is good practice that Members have oversight of the Council’s financial performance at regular points during the financial year.

2.     To recognise movements in the call on reserves and balances to date, along with potential variances in establishment costs and key income streams that may arise between now and the end of the financial year.
