Report from the Strategic Director of Finance and Customer Services.

Recommendations:

That Cabinet:

1.    Note the current General Fund Revenue Budget forecast overspend of £5.3m.

2.    Note that actions will continue to be taken to reduce the overspend position but that it is possible that the Council will need to draw on its reserves to balance the 2024/25 financial position.

3.    Note the updated position of the Capital Programme, including proposed capital programme variations to expenditure profiles and funding.

4.    Approve the adoption of the Department for Education’s procedure to help local authorities financially assess Special Guardians as part of the process for setting up Special Guardianship Orders.

5.    Approve the proposed debt write off detailed at 2.44
