Purpose:

This report provides an update on the Council’s 5-year financial forecasts and makes recommendations regarding the revised revenue budget for 2020/21 and 2021/22.

 

This report gives the Executive the opportunity to consider the Council’s 5-year financial forecasts as set out in the Medium-Term Finance Strategy (MTFS), revised service budgets for 2020/21 and proposed service budgets for 2021/22.

General Fund Revenue Budget 2021/22

The proposed general fund budget for 2021/22 totals £14,692,700 for service budgets along with -£3,823,500 for other budgets (including a use of general reserves of £1,902,500) and Government COVID funding of £751,000 giving an overall position of £10,118,200 which is an increase of £511,700 against the original budget for 2020/21.
