Minutes:

The Head of Financial Services had submitted a report to update Members on the financial outturn for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Councillor Ed Turner, Deputy Leader (Statutory) – Finance and Asset Management, reported that although there had been some variances, the final outturn position had been a surplus of £0.041million which, in the context of an overall net budget of c£23.6m, indicated that projections and budgets had been robust.  This position had been achieved in the context of a lack of an expected dividend from ODS; it had also required a transfer of £5,067m from the Covid reserve.  Many of the financial challenges faced by the Council had resulted from effects of the pandemic, for which there had been insufficient recompense from the government.

Councillor Turner clarified that the additional budget of £153k to be added to the Bullingdon Community Centre capital scheme was required as a result of rising building costs; building cost inflation was likely to become an increasing issue for the Council over the coming months.

Cabinet resolved to:

1.    Note the financial outturn and performance of the Council for the year 2021/22 and also the position on risks outstanding as at 31st March 2022;
