There are also inflationary pressures across supported accommodation contracts. A year end overspend. The service will achieve its budgeted surplus None available Employee cost underspend due to vacant posts within the service. Property cost overspend due to a reassessment of depot costs charged to the HMTO. Transport and supply cost underspend reflecting lower employee numbers and reduced throughput of work undertaken by HMTO. Lower income reflects reduced delivery costs / reduced throughput of work. This service delivers maintenance and investment services to the council's housing stock The service will minimise any overspend through tight control on recruitment and the maximisation of housing benefit income across temporary accommodation properties and Ashton View supported accommodation properties.
