To consider the revenue, capital and HRA quarter 1 budget monitoring report.

1.      The Revenue forecast position of a balanced budget with a contribution to Housing Revenue Account Reserves of £6.661m be noted, thus strengthening the Council’s ability to invest and improve its stock of Council Houses.

2.      The Capital forecast position indicating expenditure will be £1.291m less than the budget, be noted.  This is due to lower than anticipated expenditure on the Dukeminster project.

3.      That Right to Buy sales will be monitored for the possible impact on predicted surpluses in the medium to longer term.
