Adverse variance anticipated
Adverse variance anticipated
This service area includes all Secondary Schools.
This service area covers all ASN Services.
The adverse variance within employee costs (£160k) is due to a
combination of turnover targets not being achieved , a greater than
expected pay award and greater staffing as part of our efforts to minimise
external placements. Payments to Other Bodies adverse variance is due
to the ongoing high demands on the Residential Placements Budget
(£426k) combined with uncertainty regarding the division of residential
costs between WDC and HSCP. This is partly offset by lower payments to
other external bodies (£77k). The Residential budget was set on the basis
of a 20:80 split between Education and HSCP and the additional cases
,which resulted in the overspend in 2021/22, being covered in 2022/23
from WDC and HSCP reserves . However, as per the  report to Council in
October, invoices have to be split 28:72. This change represents a budget
shortfall of £265k. In addition, the number of residential placements is 6%
higher (about 2 placements)  than the average for 2021/22. Income from
other local authorities placing children within WDC schools is expected to
be less than budgeted (£43k). 
The requirement for Residential Placements is demand-led  and decisions
are taken jointly with HSCP following an assessment of the best option for
all concerned. However, the actual usage throughout the year will be
reviewed regularly to identify where there is scope to reduce the number
of placements.
Income from sale of school meals is currently projected to be less than
budgeted (£190k) while income from lets is also lower than expected
(£106k). 
Management will continue to review the service and take action where
appropriate to minimise the overspend. School meals income depends on
higher uptake over the coming months.
Education , Learning and Attainment
Favourable variance anticipated
This service area includes all Primary Schools.
The budget was set before the delay to free school meal expansion was
confirmed. As primaries 6 & 7 will now not be covered by universal free
school meal provision from August 2022 income from school meals will be
significantly above the budgeted target income (£203k).  This offsets the
increase in clothing grants (£10k) and reduction in school lets income
(£15k) . There is also a small favourable variance against employee costs
as the budget was set slightly higher than expenditure would suggest.

none possible at present
Roads and Neighbourhood
Management will continue to monitor all budget heads with a view to
minimising the overspend.
Employee costs are higher (£258k) as projected savings from waste route
optimisation ,which depend on operating from a single depot, are not yet
achievable and the impact of the pay award . Expenditure on bin
replacements is higher (£80k) , skip hire (£21k) , and waste transfer
consultancy costs (£31k) are greater than anticipated when the budgets
were set. SEPA licence charges(£27k) are higher than anticipated when
the budget was set. These have been partly offset by reduced transport
costs, mainly in vehicle hires (£21k) .
Management will continue to monitor all budget heads with a view to
minimising the overspend

This service seeks to prevent homelessness occurring across the

A year end overspend in anticipated
Most of this variance is due to inflationary pressures which are not
possible to mitigate for since the relevant budget lines are demand led.
The rent charged to DWP for homeless should reflect the cost of
providing the service so it would be expected that these increases would
result in a review of rent to increase in line wth cost pressures.  However
due to the recently announced rent freeze this would not be possible until
end of March 2023 at the earliest .
Several issue are causing this £111K overspend , the main issues are as
follows :-The property costs overspend of £158K is mainly due to higher
than budgeted increase in gas and electricity cost (£37K) and similarly
price of furniture and white goods have significantly increased causing an
adverse variance (£107K) . There has also been difficulties in having
homeless units turned around and ready when required which has
resulted in a £36K spend on bed and breakfast . £107K of the overspend
is offset by anticipated additional income based on current occupancy
levels .

Anticipated Outcome Favourable outturn expected.
An overall adverse variance is anticipated at this time
Income and expenditure will continue to be monitored throughout the
year.
Forecast higher payroll costs and central support costs due to the  pay
award exceeding budget.
Higher overtime costs due to service demands.
Higher costs are partly offset by increased income from HRA revenue and
capital budgets
Miscellaneous
This service area budgets for non departmental specific costs such as
pensions costs, external grants and elderly welfare payments, external
audit fees and insurance costs. The service heading also holds a number
of general savings options which have still to be fully allocated.
After removing the effects of the general covid budget (£320k) which will
be required to be funded from unearmarked covid funds, the main
adverse variances are linked with property costs for assets not yet sold
and the level of procurement savings achieved to date.
Under-recovery against surplus target
This budget includes spend relating to the Senior Management Team of
the Council
This service delivers maintenance and investment services to the
council's housing stock.
Significant under-recovery against surplus target
There are two variances occuring in this service. Employee costs are
showing a small favourable variance due to two short-term Chief Officer
vacancies. In addition there is a large favourable variance due to income
from an unbudgeted staff recharge for the first half of the year which has
now ended.
None required
Lower than budgeted income due to a reduced programme of CAMS
work delivered through subcontractor partners. This will be partly offset by
reduced subcontractor expenditure.
None - Although service will endeavour to reduce the adverse variance
where possible through service efficiency
Supply, Distribution and Property
Review HRA recharges and explore if higher payroll costs can be factored
into 22/23 recovery rates.
This service manages and undertakes repairs and maintenance to public
buildings

The adverse variance is linked with forecast on the cost of short term
borrowing with increased interest rates.
Management will continue to monitor and maximise actions taken to
reduce any adverse variance, where possible.
Other
This budget covers the servicing of the Council's external borrowing
An adverse variance is anticipated
This budget represents the removal of budgeted vacancies from service
departments.
The favourable variance reflects the non filling of vacancies due to the
implementation of recruitment restrictions.
None required
A favourable variance is anticipated
Any variance will be offset by covid adverse variances within services, or
carried forward for future years allocation against covid costs.
This represents the funding from Scottish Government specifically for
covid and additional spend identified outwith specific  Council Services
The variance is funding service related covid costs
Income and expenditure will continue to be monitored throughout the
year.

Main Issues / Reason for Variance
LED budget is invested across our town centres and strategic sites and is used to develop and implement projects as well as providing
match funding to lever in external funding. During 2022/2023 the key projects to be developed and delivered include a contribution
towards Smollett Fountain public realm,  development costs associated with Dumbarton Waterfront, the Arc of Attraction Strategy and
in Clydebank implementation of the Development Framework Activity Centre in Clydebank will be delivered in 2023/2024. Many
regeneration projects are subject to factors outwith Council control and close monitoring of the programming is required. Enabling
works at Mitchell Way  have been delayed as they are subject to the timescale of the developer. A contingency is included for
increasing costs and new funding opportunities.

ICT Security & DR
The project is for the enhancement of security systems, server replacement and the update of corporate
applications to ensure compliance with 15/16 PSN requirements, to enhance the disaster recovery
capabilities of WDC.
Main Issues / Reason for Variance
Project spend relates to internal and external resources to implement new systems, processes and user training skills. Mailbox migration aspect
of the project delayed until cloud backup is implemented (procurement complete and implementation planning in progress). Implementation of
device management functionality in 365 is live for corporate devices but full rollout is linked to mailbox migrations. Information governance work
stream in progress. Project resourcing issues continue due to competing demands and competitive environment for recruitment.
Mitigating Action
Continue to monitor the various work streams to accelerate aspects of the project where possible if suppliers can provide resource. Continue to
assess where a) internal skills have developed, b) external resource is needed for introducing new functionality in the future to inform future
bidding cycles and c) temporary recruitment/secondment is required.
Anticipated Outcome
