This report sets out estimates for income and expenditure on services in 2018/19.

The Committee recommended the 2018/19 service estimates for approval at the budget meeting of the Full Council on 20 February 2018.

The Committee received a report that set out estimates for income and expenditure on its services for 2018/19.

The report highlighted that the probable outturn for this Committee in 2017/18 was an over spend of £233,000 as at Q2. This was the result of some significant adverse variations due to a shortfall in building control fees, additional costs arising from the Aldi planning appeal and public inquiry, and a drop in Epsom town centre market and cemetery income.  This had been taken into account in setting the 2018/19 budget.

The report set out a summary of the Committee’s revenue estimates for 2018/19, giving an overall base position of £1,948K.  This included additional income from discretionary fees and charges of £132K.  However, the report highlighted that income in this service area was particularly vulnerable to the volatility of market demands.

Accordingly, the Committee recommended the 2018/19 service estimates for approval at the budget meeting of the Full Council on 20 February 2018.
