This report sets out estimates for income and expenditure on services in 2017/18

The Committee:

(1)          Recommended the 2017/18 service estimates for approval at the budget meeting of the Full Council on 14 February 2017;

(2)          Agreed not to revise the current Discretionary Rate Relief Scheme which the budget proposals in this report reflect.

The Committee received a report which set out estimates for income and expenditure on its services for 2017/18.

The report highlighted that the probable outturn for this Committee in 2016/17 was an under spend of £167,000. This contributed to the Council’s overall probable outturn of a favourable £96,000 under spend and the Chairman thanked staff for their contribution to this achievement through prudent budget management.

The report set out a summary of the Committee’s revenue estimates for 2017/18, giving an overall base position of £2,403K.  However, the report highlighted that there were now no changes proposed to the discretionary rate relief scheme for 2017/18 – the timing of so doing being considered inappropriate at the current time - and this resulted in a variation of £22,000.

Accordingly, the Committee:

(1)          Recommended the 2017/18 service estimates for approval at the budget meeting of the Full Council on 14 February 2017;

(2)          Agreed not to revise the current Discretionary Rate Relief Scheme which the budget proposals in this report reflect.
