1. Background
1.1 The Council’s approved Financial Regulations require the Chief Executive to remain
within the approved budgetary provision, and to report all significant deviations -
defined as the higher of £100,000 or 5% - within budget monitoring reports. Where
significant deviations are identified, the Chief Executive must provide explanatory
commentary, outline the action required to rectify such deviations and where relevant,
must also highlight the impact this has on other budget headings.
2. Report
2.1 Summary of Financial Position
2.1.1 The Council approved its General Fund Revenue Budget on 17 February 2022, of
which £93.565m (10.55%) represented the approved Revenue Budget for the Chief
Executive & Other Corporate Services. Incorporation of the COVID Recovery budget
of £2.171m and the realignment of Communities budgets have been included.
Following a number of budget realignments throughout the year there is a revised
budget for the service of £98.483m.
2.1.2 The overall projected outturn position of the Service is a favourable position of
£4.963m. This is a favourable movement of £3.792m since the previous report to
Committee which includes increased underspends in employee costs and contract
costs along with over-recoveries in income relating to PPP contributions, rent
allowances and rent rebates overpayments. Appendices one to five provide further
information in respect of this position.
2.1.3 In light of the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and other financial pressures, Services have
been requested to continue to implement mitigating actions to ensure the position is
managed and the Council remains financially sustainable. The mitigating action
includes vacancy management and the curtailment of non-essential expenditure.
2.1.4 The 2022/23 budget incorporates a revised savings value of £0.361m previously
approved by Council.
2.1.5 The Service is currently anticipating increased costs as a result of inflationary pressures
within ICT contracts of £0.088m in the current year, however these costs can be
managed within the current budget envelope. Future year increases will be addressed
as part of the Budget Setting process.
2.2 Analysis of Significant Variances
2.2.1 Employee costs are anticipated to result in a year end net underspend of £1.383m,
primarily as a result of vacancies, underspends in relation to the Cost of Living Grant
and pensions charges.
2.2.2 Supplies & Services are projected to be underspent by £2.117m due to continuing
review of contracts across the service along with an in year saving due to the timing of
the transition to Cloud based solutions across the council.
2.2.3 Transport costs are anticipated to be underspent by £0.080m primarily as a result of
decreased staff travel following the change to Hybrid working.
2.2.4 Admin Costs are projected to be underspent by £0.095m due to underspends within
the MA programme / Workforce for the Future, printing, photocopying, training and

Page 3

project budgets partially offset by an overspend within Liability Insurance and expected
credit losses.
2.2.5 The service is currently projecting an underspend within Payments to Other Bodies of
£0.132m due to decreased spend for by-elections, the Grant Award Programme and
Children’s Panel Training offset by HRMC tax invoice relating to medical fees.
2.2.6 As at period 12 the position on Council Tax Reduction Scheme remains under review
along with other elements of the Council Tax Product including household numbers and
council tax collection for the year. The Council Tax Product will then be assessed for
expected credit losses as part of the year end process. It is currently anticipated there
will be no material variance overall.
2.2.7 Within Other Expenditure the service is currently projecting an overspend of £0.118m
due to increased costs for the Modern Apprenticeship Levy.
2.2.8 Income is currently projecting to over-recover by £1.334m. This is due to an over-
recovery of income in relation to PPP Contributions, rent allowances / rent rebates
overpayments, recharges from building cleaning and trade waste, grant income relating
to the modern apprentice programme and blue badges. This is partially offset by under-
recoveries within licencing (liquor and taxi) due to the continuing impact of Covid-19
and under-recoveries in recharges for areas such as printing and insurance and the
Learning Centre.
2.3 Earmarked and One-Off Resources
2.3.1 In finalising the Council’s draft accounts to 31 March 2022, the service was given
approval to earmark £5.519m of resources to fund key projects and initiatives profiled
over a number of years. Following several realignments during the year, along with
identifying £1.870m to be deferred to future years there is a revised balance of £3.403m
within the Chief Executive’s service. It is anticipated that £2.635m of the reserve
balances will be utilised in 2022/23 with a total £0.768m of reserves identified as no
longer required.
2.3.2 Details of the Service’s earmarked funds are provided in Appendix 4.
2.3.3 The Service has incurred £0.107m of VRS costs relating to savings/restructures.
Therefore, there is currently a requirement to utilise the Corporate Change
Management fund at this time. Costs arising from 2022/23 savings/restructures will be
reported in future reports as they are incurred.
2.3.4 These costs are not included in the Service outturn position.
2.4 2022/23 Budget Savings
2.4.1 The 2022/23 budget incorporates £0.361m of savings approved by Council on 17
February 2022.
2.4.2 The Service has not fully implemented the approved 2022/23 savings however there
has been management action taken to offset these in the current year:
• Business and Digital – there has been a planned reduction of spend within Contract
lines to support savings target of £0.198m,
• POD – there has been a proactive approach to vacancy management to support
the savings target of £0.163m in the current financial year.
2.4.3 Appendix 5 provides a summary of the savings, including commentary in relation to
challenging savings and any actions taken to address the funding gap which has arisen.

2.5 Covid-19 Costs
2.5.1 The approved COVID Recovery Budget has been incorporated with an additional net
expenditure budget of £3.088m provided.  This reflects anticipated increased costs of
£2.289m, and additional investment of £0.799m.  The Service is currently projecting
slippage of £0.847m to 2023/24 due to delays in recruitment of staff and has identified
£0.019m of funding no longer required.  Details of the Service’s COVID Budget are
provided in Appendix 6. 
2.6 Management Actions
2.6.1 The Service is being pro-active to ensure expenditure is contained within its approved
2022/23 budget. 
3. Measures of success 
3.1  The Service continues to operate within approved budget resources.
