This report sets out the revenue estimates for income and expenditure on services in financial year 2017/18.

Following consideration, the Committee:

(1)          Agreed to recommend the 2017/18 service estimates for approval at the budget meeting of the Council on 14 February 2017.

The Committee received a report setting out the revenue estimates for income and expenditure on services in the financial year 2017/18. The following matter was considered:

a)            Longmead Centre capacity. It was noted that the income from room hire at the Centre in 2016/17 was anticipated to be below the budgeted level. This was due to a reduction in capacity following an increase in venue membership levels, and use of facilities by members. The Head of Venues and Facilities informed the Committee that the potential to undertake improvements to the capacity of the Longmead Centre were currently being investigated. Improvements to parking arrangements for the Centre would also be considered as a part of this process.

Following consideration, the Committee:

(1)          Agreed to recommend the 2017/18 service estimates for approval at the budget meeting of the Council on 14 February 2017.
