WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL REVENUE BUDGETARY CONTROL 2023/24 ANALYSIS FOR VARIANCES OVER £50,000 YEAR END DATE Total Budget Forecast Spend RAG Status £000 £000 £000 % Working 4 U 1,966 2,308 342 0.174 Service Description Main Issues / Reason for Variance Mitigating Action Anticipated Outcome Communities 950 901 (49) -5% Service Description Main Issues / Reason for Variance Mitigating Action Anticipated Outcome Housing Maintenance Trading A/c (589) (594) (5) 1% Service Description Main Issues / Reason for Variance Mitigating Action Anticipated Outcome The service will achieve its budgeted surplus None available Employee costs showing a positive variance due to vacant posts within the service. The forecast overspend in supplies and services reflects building material inflationary pressures. Income recovery is slightly less then budget due to the service undertaking less work than originally anticipated. This service delivers maintenance and investment services to the council's housing stock Budget Details Variance Analysis Variance This is the provision of Working 4u service. None Required. Net expenditure will be in line with budget. 31 October 2024 The adverse variances on payments to other bodies/ other expenditure reflects spend that will met by use of earmarked balances. This service provides support to communities Although there have been delays in achieving the communities restructure savings (£38k - to be covered from the smoothing fund) this has been more than offset by higher than budgeted projected salary recharges to PEF . After use of the smoothing fund the resulting projected favourable variance becomes £87k favourable. Progression with restructure Favourable variance Item 14 Appendix 3
