2 Minutes of Previous Meeting 
The minutes of the meeting of the Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum held on 8 December
2022 were submitted for approval as a correct record. 
The Forum decided: that the minutes be approved as a correct record. 
3a Capital Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 – General Fund Capital Programme 
A report dated 23 January 2023 by the Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)
was submitted on the position of the General Fund Capital Programme 2022/2023 for the period
1 April to 29 December 2022. 
The revised General Fund Capital Programme for 2022/2023 totalled £78.272 million, as
detailed in Appendix B to the report.  This included new adjustments to the programme agreed
by the Executive Committee on 1 February 2023, totalling £0.531 million and included additional
funding for new projects as detailed in Appendix A to the report.  Due to timing of the project
spend, it was anticipated that this funding would slip into 2023/2024 and the net impact on the
2022/2023 Capital Programme would be nil. 
In December 2022, the Scottish Government had revised the 2022/2023 General Capital Grant
allocation to £32.074 million, which was an increase of £0.202 million, as detailed in Appendix D
to the report.  Due to the late notification of this additional funding, it was unlikely that any new
projects would be designed and completed prior to the end of the financial year.  Consequently,
the additional allocation of £0.202 million would be used to fund the existing Capital Programme
and reduce the Council’s level of borrowing.

Work had been ongoing to clarify the predicted spend position for the General Services Capital
Programme for 2022/2023 and current estimates from Resources suggested an outturn of £73
million.  This would leave an underspend across Resources of £5.3 million against the revised
budget of £78.272 million.  This was made up of project underspends totalling £9.7 million offset
by projects with greater than anticipated spend of £4.4 million. 
The majority of variance was due to the timing of spend, resulting in budget being required in
2023/2024 rather than 2022/2023.  The progression of a number of projects had been impacted
by current market conditions which resulted in material shortfalls and longer lead in times. 
Those underspends had been partially offset by a few projects where there were budget
overspends predicted in 2022/2023, such as Jackton Primary School and Oracle Fusion.  Again,
this was a timing issue and funding for the overall spend on those projects had already been
identified into next year. 
In addition, £0.150 million related to savings achieved on works completed within the Lanark
Interchange Park and Ride project this financial year.  This project had been funded by
Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) and, therefore, the saving would be returned. 
A list of the main projects which were responsible for the overall underspend of £9.7 million, and
would now complete in 2023/2024, were detailed in Appendix E to the report. 
The programme spend and funding for the General Fund was summarised in Appendix D of the
report. 
Budget for the period was £36.049 million and spend to 29 December 2022 was £37.238 million,
an overspend of £1.189 million.  Actual funding received to 29 December 2022 was £60.718
million. 
The physical progress achieved with the General Fund Capital Programme 2022/2023 at 29
December 2022 was detailed in appendices F to H to the report. 
The Forum decided: that the position on the General Fund Capital Programme
as at 29 December 2022 be noted. 
[Reference: Minutes of 8 December 2022 (Paragraph 3a) and Minutes of the Executive
Committee of 1 February 2023 (Paragraph 4)] 
3b Capital Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 – Housing Capital Programme 
A report dated 23 January 2023 by the Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)
was submitted on the position of the Housing Capital Programme 2022/2023 for the period 1
April to 29 December 2022 (Period 10). 
The revised Housing Capital Programme for 2022/2023 totalled £66.361 million.  Budget for the
period was £40.639 million and spend to 29 December 2022 was £40.525 million, which
represented an underspend of £0.114 million, as detailed in Appendix A to the report.  Actual
funding received at 29 December 2022 was £40.525 million. 
Current estimates from Housing and Technical Resources suggested an outturn of £66.361
million.  However, it noted that there was potential for an underspend in the Housing Capital
Programme due to the extreme weather experienced in December 2022, which meant that
operatives were diverted away from capital investment to tackle urgent repairs. 
The physical progress achieved with the Housing Capital Programme 2022/2023 at 29
December 2022 was detailed in Appendix B to the report.

Page 5

The Council continued to experience material shortages, longer lead times and extraordinary
inflationary price increases and it was anticipated that this would continue to impact the supply
chain for the foreseeable future.  The impact of this would continue to be monitored and updates
provided to this Forum. 
Any significant increases in contract values for the Housing Capital Programme would be
brought to members’ attention. 
The Forum decided: that the position on the Housing Capital Programme as at
29 December 2022 be noted. 
[Reference: Minutes of 8 December 2022 (Paragraph 3b) and Minutes of the Executive
Committee of 1 February 2023 (Paragraph 4)] 
4 Revenue Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 and Probable Outturn 
A report dated 20 January 2023 by the Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)
was submitted on the overall financial position of the Council’s General Fund Revenue Account
and the Housing Revenue Account for the period 1 April to 29 December 2022 (Period 10),
along with a projection for the year to 31 March 2023. 
The report and the associated appendices:- 
 summarised the 2022/2023 probable outturn position for the Council’s General Fund
Revenue Account to 31 March 2023
 provided a summary of the outturn position, including details of proposed transfers to
reserves
 provided details of the position on the General Fund Account and the Housing Revenue
Account for the period 1 April to 29 December 2022 respectively
 detailed anticipated spend for the current year
 proposed funds to be transferred to reserves for future commitments required in the next
financial year
 detailed the position after all transfers to reserves for known commitments 
 provided the Housing Revenue Account position 
The final outturn position, after transfers to reserves, resulted in an underspend of £4.696
million.  This included new proposed transfers to reserves totalling £17.195 million as well as
previously approved transfers of £17.420 million arising from the underspend in Loan Charges
due to the timing of borrowing, increased deposit interest and the Loans Fund. It was proposed
that the underspend of £4.696 million be considered to support the 2023/2024 Budget Strategy 
The overall Resource position, which was a combined overspend of £0.335 million, included
transfers to reserves totalling £8.405 million.  It also included a breakeven position for Social
Work Resources.  In relation to Adults and Older People, the position included a £1.423 million
commitment in respect of the element of the budget delegated to the Integration Joint Board
(IJB).  It was proposed that the IJB retain this non-recurring underspend in their reserves
earmarked for future care costs. 
There was a further underspend of £5.635 million relating to core Council funding passed to the
IJB.  In terms of the IJB financial regulations which entitled the Council to adjust its contributions
in respect of such unplanned underspends, it was proposed that the underspend be retained by
the Council to help cover the Children and Families’ budget pressures into 2023/2024.

Page 6

The budget for Corporate Items assumed a transfer from reserves of £5.700 million.  This
reflected the Council’s contribution to the increased pay award for 2022/2023.  It was proposed
that this be funded by the retrospective benefit released by implementing new guidance on
Accounting for Service Concessions. 
At 29 December 2022, the figures showed the position on the General Fund Revenue Account
after transfers to reserves, as net underspend of £0.092 million.  The Housing Revenue Account
showed a breakeven position and the forecast to 31 March 2023 on the Housing Revenue
Account was also a breakeven position. 
The Forum decided: 
(1) that including Resources, Corporate Items and Council Tax, and the proposed transfers to
reserves, the Council’s outturn underspend of £4.696 million, as detailed in section 4.2 of
the report, be noted; 
(2) that the proposed transfers to reserves totalling £17.195 million, as detailed in section 4.2
of the report, be noted; 
(3) that the non-recurring underspend of £1.423 million in the delegated budget to the IJB be
held in reserves for use in future years, as detailed in section 4.6 of the report, be noted; 
(4) that the proposal to include, within the transfer to reserves, the unplanned underspend in
the current year of £5.635 million in the budget delegated to the IJB which would be
retained by the Council to assist in managing pressures in Children and Families, as
detailed in section 4.7 of the report, be noted; 
(5) that £5.700 million of the retrospective benefit released by the implementation of the
guidance on Accounting for Service Concessions be used to support the increased
2022/2023 Pay Award, as detailed in section 4.10 of the report, be noted; 
(6) that the outturn underspend of £4.696 million be transferred to reserves to assist in the
2023/2024 Budget Strategy, as detailed in section 4.16 of the report, be noted; 
(7) that the underspend of £0.092 million on the General Fund Revenue Account at 29
December 2022, as detailed in section 5.1 of the report, be noted; and 
(8) that the breakeven position on the Housing Revenue Account at 29 December 2022, as
detailed in section 6.1 of the report, and the forecast to 31 March 2023 of breakeven, as
detailed in section 6.2 of the report, be noted. 
[Reference: Minutes of 8 December 2022 (Paragraph 4) and Minutes of the Executive
Committee of 1 February 2023 (Paragraph 3)] 
5 Revenue Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 – Detailed Resource Analysis 
A report dated 20 January 2023 by the Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)
was submitted comparing actual expenditure against budgeted expenditure for the period 1 April
to 29 December 2022 (Period 10). 
Appendices A to F to the report provided the following information for each Resource and the
Housing Revenue Account:- 
 an Executive Summary showing the top level position for each of the Services within the
Resource and the Housing Revenue Account as at 29 December 2022

Page 7

 details of the most significant variances within Resources and the Housing Revenue
Account across subjective headings and across Services as at 29 December 2022
 a line by line trend analysis of the total Resources’ expenditure and income across
subjective headings as at 29 December 2022 
The Forum decided: that the position as at 29 December 2022 (Period 10) be
noted.

Report
Agenda Item 
Report to: Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum
Date of Meeting: 9 March 2023
Report by: Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)  
Subject: Capital Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 - General Fund
Capital Programme 
1. Purpose of Report
1.1. The purpose of the report is to:
[purpose]
 update members of the Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum of progress on the
Council’s General Fund Capital Programme for the period covering 1 April 2022
to 27 January 2023.
[1purpose]
2. Recommendation(s)
2.1. The Forum is asked to approve the following recommendation:
[recs]
(1) that the physical and financial progress of the 2022/2023 General Fund
Capital Programme be noted. 
[1recs]
3. Background
3.1. The Capital reports attached provide detail on the position as at 27 January 2023
from both a financial and physical perspective.   
3.2. Appendices A to E show the financial position of the General Fund Capital
Programme, with the physical progress detailed in Appendices F to H – as they are
split into Build, Non Build and Roads.  Projects which were reported as behind
programme last period have now been re-profiled based on the revised completion
dates.   
4. General Fund Capital Programme 2022/2023
4.1. 2022/23 Budget:  The revised programme for the General Fund is £78.396 million,
as shown in Appendix B. This revised programme consists of the base budget plus
carry forward projects and adjustments which have been agreed by the Executive
Committee up to and including its meeting on 1 February 2023.   
4.2. The total programme of £78.396 million includes new adjustments to the programme,
which are detailed in Appendix A, which were approved by the Executive Committee
on 1 March 2023.  These adjustments total £0.124 million and mainly reflect
additional funding for new Roads projects.   
4.3. The programme spend for the General Fund is summarised in Appendix B with a full
breakdown of expenditure across Services included in Appendix C.   
4.4. Programmed funding for the year also totals £78.396 million.  The funding available to
support the programme is detailed in Appendix D.   
3a

Page 10

4.5. 2022/2023 Outturn:  As reported last period, estimates from Resources suggest an
outturn of around £73 million.  Against the revised budget of £78.396 million this
outturn means a net underspend across Resources of £5.3 million.  This is made up
of project underspends totalling £9.7 million offset by projects with greater than
anticipated spend of £4.4 million.   Work will continue in the coming weeks to monitor
achievable levels of spend. 
4.6. The majority of the variance is due to the timing of spend, resulting in budget
required in 2023/2024 rather than 2022/2023.  Funding for projects remaining
underspend at the financial year-end will be carried forward to allow the projects to
be completed in 2023/2024.  Again, this is a timing issue only with funding for the
overall spend on these projects already identified into next financial year. 
4.7. A list of the main projects with anticipated underspends which are responsible for the
overall underspend of £9.7 million, as detailed in section 4.5, and which will now
complete in 2023/24 is included in Appendix E, along with their anticipated
completion dates.   
4.8. Period 11 Position:  The programme spend and funding for the General Fund is
summarised in Appendix D.  As noted in 4.1, the total capital spending programme
for the year is £78.396 million. 
4.9.  Appendix D also shows budget for the period of £38.915 million and spend to the 27
January 2023 of £39.540 million, an overspend of £0.625 million.  This is mainly due
to the timing of spend in relation to the Oracle Fusion project within Finance and
Corporate Resources (£0.786m).  This is offset by a number of smaller underspends
across the rest of the Programme.       
4.10. Actual funding received to 27 January 2023 is £68.848 million. 
4.11. Relevant officers will continue to closely monitor the generation of all income
including receipts. 
5. Employee Implications
5.1. There are no employee implications as a result of this report. 
6. Financial Implications
6.1. The financial implications are included in section 4 of this report. 
7. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
7.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability or the environment in
terms of the information contained in this report. 
8. Other Implications
8.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Capital Programme is an overspend. 
There are detailed project management plans prepared and the risk of overspend on
each project is monitored through four weekly investment management meetings. 
8.2. The Council continues to experience material shortages, longer lead times and
extraordinary inflationary price increases and it is anticipated that this will continue to
impact the supply chain for the foreseeable future.  The impact of this will continue to
be monitored through the four weekly investment management meetings.  Further

Page 11

updates will be reported in the coming months with any significant increases in
contract values being brought to members’ attention.   
9. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
9.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a
change to existing policy, function or strategy and therefore no impact assessment is
required. 
9.2. There was also no requirement to undertake any consultation in terms of the
information contained in this report.

APPENDIX A
Adjustments Approved by Executive Committee – 1 March 2023 
Community and Enterprise Resources 
Cycle Shelters at Schools
Approval is sought to increase the 2022/23 Capital Programme by £0.040 million to
reflect funding awarded from Cycling Scotland. The funding has been awarded to
supply, deliver and install cycle shelters at a number of schools including: 
Lesmahagow High School, Douglas Primary School, Rigside Primary School &
Craigbank Primary School.  In addition, refurbishment works will also be undertaken
to the existing shelter at Cairns Primary School. 
£0.040m 
National Strategy for 20mph
The National Strategy for 20mph aims to expand 20mph speed limits across
Scotland and will ensure all appropriate roads in built-up areas have a safer speed
limit of 20mph by 2025.  Approval is sought to increase the 2022/2023 Capital
Programme by £0.084 million to identify outcomes to assist in the further delivery of
20mph zones and limits within the South Lanarkshire area.  This project will be
funded by a contribution from Transport Scotland. 
£0.084m 
Education Resources 
Woodside Primary School - Adaptations
In order to accommodate an increase in pupil numbers at Woodside Primary
School, Hamilton, approval is sought to increase the 2022/2023 Capital Programme
by £0.100 million to allow the adaptation of the general-purpose area to be
converted into two additional classrooms. 
It is proposed that funding for these adaptation works be transferred from
developers’ contributions already received for the Hamilton area.

Report
Agenda Item 
Report to: Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum
Date of Meeting: 9 March 2023
Report by: Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)  
Subject: Capital Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 - Housing Capital
Programme 
1. Purpose of Report
1.1. The purpose of the report is to:
[purpose]
 update members of the Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum of progress on the
Council’s Housing Capital Programme for the period covering 1 April 2022 to 27
January 2023.
[1purpose]
2. Recommendation(s)
2.1. The Forum is asked to approve the following recommendation:
[recs]
(1) that the physical and financial progress of the Housing Capital Programme be
noted. 
[1recs]
3. Background
3.1. The Capital reports attached provide detail on the position as at 27 January 2023 from
both a financial and physical perspective.   
3.2. Appendix A shows the financial position of the Housing Capital Programme, with the
physical progress detailed in Appendix B. 
4. 2022/2023 Housing Capital Programme 
4.1. 2022/2023 Budget:  The revised Housing Capital Programme for the year is £66.361
million reflecting changes to the programme approved by the Executive Committee on
24 August 2022.  There have been no further changes to the budget since this meeting.   
4.2. Programmed funding for the year also totals £66.361 million.  The budget, along with a
detailed breakdown of the funding sources is included in Appendix A to this report. 
4.3. 2022/23 Outturn:  Current estimates from Housing and Technical Resources suggest
there will be an underspend of £4.1 million within the Housing Capital Programme by
the end of the financial year. This is due to a number of factors - as advised last period,
this is mainly due to the extreme weather experienced in December 2022, which caused
flooding damage to a number of Council properties.  As a result, operatives from
Property Services were diverted away from capital investment to tackle urgent repairs.   
4.4. In addition, environmental surveys on external fabric projects have required work to be
paused due to the suspected presence of bats which, in turn, has delayed owner
consultations.  There has also been reduced owner uptake for external works. The
Service has also experienced higher than normal volumes of no access for legislative
works. 
3b

Page 30

4.5. Work to monitor achievable spend will continue in the coming weeks. Funding for
projects remaining underspend at the financial year-end will be carried forward to allow
the projects to be completed in 2023/2024. 
4.6. Period 11 Position:  Budget for the period is £45.339 million and spend to 27 January
2023 amounts to £43.015 million (as shown in Appendix A), an underspend of £2.324
million and this mainly reflects the issues detailed in Sections 4.3 to 4.5 above. 
4.7. As at 27 January 2023, £43.015 million of funding had been received. 
5. Employee Implications
5.1. There are no employee implications as a result of this report. 
6. Financial Implications 
6.1. The financial implications are detailed in section 4 of this report. 
7. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
7.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability or the environment in terms
of the information contained in this report. 
8. Other Implications
8.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Capital Programme is an overspend.  There
are detailed project management plans prepared and the risk of overspend on each
project is monitored through four weekly investment management meetings. 
8.2. The Council continues to experience material shortages, longer lead times and
extraordinary inflationary price increases and it is anticipated that this will continue to
impact the supply chain for the foreseeable future.  The impact of this will continue to be
monitored through the four weekly investment management meetings.  Further updates
will be reported in the coming months with any significant increases in contract values
being brought to members’ attention.   
9. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
9.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a
change to existing policy, function or strategy and therefore no impact assessment is
required. 
9.2. There was also no requirement to undertake any consultation in terms of the information
contained in this report.

Report
Agenda Item 
Report to: Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum
Date of Meeting: 9 March 2023
Report by: Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)  
Subject: Revenue Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 and Probable
Outturn 
1. Purpose of Report
1.1. The purpose of the report is to:
[purpose]
 advise the Forum on the overall financial position of the Council’s General Fund
Revenue Account and Housing Revenue Account for the period 1 April 2022 to
27 January 2023.
[1purpose]
2. Recommendation(s)
2.1. The Forum is asked to approve the following recommendation(s):
[recs]
(1) that it be noted that the Council’s outturn position is break-even after transfers
to reserves (section 4.2);
(2) that the underspend position of £0.355 million on the General Fund Revenue
Account as at 27 January 2023, after transfers to reserves (section 5.1), be
noted; and
(3) that the breakeven position on the Housing Revenue Account at 27 January
2023 and the forecast to 31 March 2023 of breakeven (sections 6.1 and 6.2),
be noted. 
3. Background
3.1. The Revenue reports attached provide detail on the most recent report considered at
the Executive Committee on 1 March 2023. 
3.2. This overview report will summarise the 2022/2023 Probable Outturn for the
Council’s General Fund Revenue Account to 31 March 2023, detailing the position
before and after transfers to Reserves.  Sections 5 and 6 provide the position on the
General Fund Account and the Housing Revenue Account for the current period 1
April 2022 to 27 January 2023 respectively.   
4. 2022/2023 General Services Probable Outturn 
4.1. As reported previously, the 2022/2023 probable outturn position for the General
Services presented an underspend of £4.696 million.  This underspend was after
previously approved transfers of £17.420 million earmarked for the Budget Strategy,
and new proposed transfers to reserves totalling £17.195 million.  It was proposed that
the outturn underspend of £4.696 million be transferred to reserves to assist in the
2023/2024 Budget Strategy.   
4.2. Full details of the transfers to reserves were included in the 1 February 2023 report
to the Executive Committee.  The new proposed transfers to Reserves and the use
4

Page 38

of the £4.696 million underspend to assist in the 2023/2024 Budget Strategy, were
approved at the Executive Committee (1 February 2023).  The forecast position
before and after Transfers to Reserves is shown in Appendices 1 and 2.  The
position presented in Appendix 2 includes the underspend of £4.696 million as a
Transfer to Reserves.  This results in a break-even position for the 2023/2024
Probable Outturn. 
5. 2022/2023 General Services Monitoring Position  
5.1. Financial Position as at 27 January 2023 
As at 27 January 2023, the position on the General Services budget, after Transfers
to Reserves, is an underspend of £0.355 million (Appendix 2).       
5.2. This position is in line with the forecast position for the General Fund (section 4). 
6. Housing Revenue Account Position
6.1. Financial Position as at 27 January 2023:  Appendix 3 of the report shows a
break-even position against the phased budget on the Housing Revenue Account.
Levels of rent collection are regularly monitored by the Housing Services team and
appropriate corrective action will be taken, as required.   
6.2. Probable Outturn Position:  Appendix 3 also shows the forecast position for the
financial year, being a break-even position for the Housing Revenue Account.   
7. Employee Implications
7.1. None. 
8. Financial Implications
8.1. As detailed in sections 4 to 6 of the report. 
9. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
9.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability or the environment in
terms of the information contained in this report. 
10. Other Implications
10.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Revenue Budget is that there is an
overspend. Inflationary and budget pressures experienced this year increase the risk
of overspend however this is mitigated going forward through provision of additional
funds in next year’s budget strategy, and through the one-off use of reserves in the
current year.   
10.2. The actual impact will continue to be reviewed through four weekly Budget
Monitoring Meetings at which any variance is analysed. In addition, the probable
outturn exercise position in this report ensures early warning for corrective action to
be taken where appropriate.  
11. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
11.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a
change to an existing policy, function or strategy and therefore no impact
assessment is required.   
11.2. There is also no requirement to undertake any consultation in terms of the
information contained in this report.

Page 44

6. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
6.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability or the environment in
terms of the information contained in this report.   
7. Other Implications
7.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Revenue Budget is that there is an
overspend.  The risk has been assessed as low given the detailed budget
management applied across the Resources.  The risk is managed through four
weekly Budget Monitoring Meetings at which any variance is analysed. In addition,
the probable outturn exercise ensures early warning for corrective action to be taken
where appropriate. 
8. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
8.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a
change to an existing policy, function or strategy and therefore no impact
assessment is required.   
8.2. There is also no requirement to undertake any consultation in terms of the
information contained in this report.

Housing and Technical Resources - HRA Variance Analysis 2022/23 (Period 11) 
Subjective Head Variance  Subjective line Service / amount Explanation
Employee Costs 245k under APT&C - Basic / Overtime /
Superannuation / National Insurance -
230k under 
HRA The variance relates to
vacancies, which are being
actively recruited or being held
whilst service requirements are
determined. 
Property Costs (2,715k)
over
Repairs and Maintenance - Internal
and External Contractor - (2,209k)
over 
HRA The net overspend reflects the
current demand for repairs and
continuing high cost and
volume of voids. The position
includes a recharge for
recovery of costs from
chargeable services due to
building services shortfall. 
Housing - Rent Free Accommodation
- (60k) over 
HRA The overspend reflects the
volume of discretionary rent
periods awarded during the
year, which is demand led. 
Housing - Rent W/O Unlet Periods -
(130k) over  
HRA This budget is demand led and
the overspend reflects the
current pressure in void
properties. 
Electricity / Gas / Heating Oil / Solid
Fuel – (173k) over 
HRA The overspend reflects the
current demand and price. 
Cleaning Contract - (80k) over HRA This overspend is due to
inflationary price increases.

Subjective Head Variance  Subjective line Service / amount Explanation
Administration
Costs
46k under Legal Expenses - 41k under HRA This budget is demand led and
the underspend reflects the
lower than anticipated levels of
eviction actions during the year. 
Income 2,442k over
recovered
House Rents - 339k over recovered  HRA  The over recovery is due to the
timing of new builds which
completed ahead of the
anticipated profiles. 
Year End Transfer to the Balance
Sheet – 2,103k over recovered 
HRA  The budget assumes a level of
transfer to reserves, however,
due to the current net
overspend across the service,
mainly as a result of the
aforementioned recovery of
costs from chargeable services
due to the building services
shortfall, the drawdown from
reserves will be higher than
forecast. 
* The underlined variances represent new variances since the last report.
