Anticipated Outcome
This budget covers electricity, gas, rates, rents, cleaning  and insurance costs.
Variance Narrative
A favourable variance is expected due to the revised probable calculations for utilities,
based on 21/22 actual outturn plus required inflation rates.
A year end underspend is anticipated
Variance Analysis
Subjective Analysis forecast Variance
Subjective Description
It is not possible to mitigate against an agreed pay award however managers will continue to
review any possible reductions in costs where possible to try and partially offset some of this
The adverse  variance within Repairs & Maintenance is due to additional work being carried
out to catch up with both jobbing  repairs and void repairs. Additional capacity to do this has
been achieved through use of sub contractors as well as continuing with HMTA work so in
effect more than a typical year worth of work is expected to be completed in 2022/23,
therefore the cost will be higher than usual.
Variance Narrative
Variance Narrative
This budget covers all repair and maintenance expenditure to houses and lockups
Subjective Description
A year end underspend is anticipated
A year end overspend is anticipated
In order to get back  to pre - COVID levels of voids and repairs , it is considered necessary
to pursue this increased activity for 2022/23 albeit at a financial cost . It should be noted that
in previous years, costs were lower than budgeted due to lower activity in lockdown / COVID
restrictions .
Budget Details
This budget covers all employees charged directly to the HRA including caretakers.
Variance Narrative
This adverse variance is mainly due to the agreed pay award being higher than the 2%
budgeted . Also £60K of this adverse variance relates to the increased pay awarded to
caretakers  following  job evaluation panel on 7 April.  This £60K is offset by a transfer from
HRA service improvement reserve which is shown in the income section .
A favourable variance is expected with the assumption that the 2022/23 forecast outturn for
support services is expected  to be in line with the 2021/22 outturn adjusted for pay uplifts
etc. This charge is calculated each year end based on HRA's percentage usage of the total
cost of WDC support services. The 2022/23 HRA budget was set before this 2021/22
outturn was known so was based on 2020/21 charge which was higher.

Variance Narrative
The Bad Debt Provision expected to be required for 2022/23 is less than estimated at time
of budget setting, resulting in a favourable variance. This assumes that the provision
required in 2022/23  will be similar to the 2021/22 provision.
Budget Details Variance Analysis
Subjective Analysis forecast Variance
Service Description
This budget allows for the provision for bad and doubtful debts to be maintained at an appropriate level
A year end underspend is anticipated
Service Description
This budget covers the contribution from revenue to Capital
Variance Narrative
In order to offset the cost pressures on the revenue HRA in 2022/23 , it will be necessary to
reduce the contribution to Capital to allow the HRA account to break even. Due to a large
part of the planned Capital spend on new builds being reprofiled into 2023/24 this reduced
contribution will not create any issues for the remaining Capital programs being delivered in
2022/23.
None available
Budget Details Variance Analysis
Subjective Analysis forecast Variance
Subjective Analysis forecast Variance
Service Description
A year end underspend is anticipated
Variance Narrative
The main reason for the projected adverse variance relates to the number of void properties
being higher than expected at time of budget setting. The budget was set on the assumption
that backlogs following COVID delays  in getting voids turned around would be resolved
early in year however the  numbers continue to be high .
Budget Details Variance Analysis
A void working group has been reviewing the issues and have been implementing actions
and working with Housing Maintenance managers to improve the situation and it is expected
that the void figures will start to decrease significantly over the next few months.
This budget covers the rents lost on void houses and lockups and the cost of council tax on void properties.

Clydebank East - 88 units to be completed on the site. Project spend now requires to be reprofiled. Anticipated site start of June
2022 has been delayed as a result of assessing remediation strategy options, while the exercise has proved to be a lengthy
process the options have identified an affordable method which is estimated to be around £9m less costly than the original
proposed method.  We expect revised tender costs early in November and anticipate a site start before the end of the year.  The
remediation methods will take longer and will be the first phase of the development and the construction of the new homes will
likely commence in April 2023. £13.754m of the £18.754m current year budget will be required to be reprofiled into 23/24.
Queens Quay Site B - 29 units now completed on the site. Project spend now requires to be reprofiled. Retention figure of
£0.629m budgeted to be paid out in 2022/23 will now be reprofiled to be paid in 2023/24 to allow time to finalise account.
Queens Quay Site C  – 20 units to be completed on site. Project spend now requires to be reprofiled. The budget provision is to
acquire additional land within Queens Quay to enhance the Site C proposals, the discussions with CRL/Rydens have been
protracted but we intend to make an offer shortly subject to the DV valuation being received. This will be reprofiled into 2022/23
(£1.878m).
Pappert - 27 units to be completed on site . Projects spend now requires to be reprofiled.  The anticipated site start of October
2022 will not be realised due to a number of factors that have caused the project to miss a number of milestones, notably a longer
than anticipated procurement process and the subsequent delay in developing a contract/tender preparation forced us to miss a
pricing window from the contractor, we anticipate a new cost price in November with a site start of March 23.  It is expected
£0.500m will be paid out in 2022/23 withthe remaining £4.481m to be reprofiled into 2023/24
Future New Build gap sites  – Project spend now requires to be reprofiled. Ongoing work to acquire private and Council owned
sites to finalise wider strategy . Expected that there will be  spend of £0.500m this during 2022/23 so £2.246m will be reprofiled
into 2023/24.
Aitkenbar - Fully complete. Project spend now requires to be reprofiled. Retention figure of £0.374m budgeted to be paid out in
2022/23 will now be reprofiled to be paid in 2023/24 to allow time to finalise account.
Anticipated Outcome
Project will still complete and will meet revised spend profiles .
Bank Street - 20 units to be completed on the site. Project spend needs reprofiled due to wider strategic reasons and potential
reprovisioning of sheltered accommodation which will require consultative exercise . Revised estimated start date July 2023,
estimated completion January 2025.  Project is currently at feasibility stage.  Likely outturn for 22/23 for the Bank Street site is
expected to be circa. £0.420m with £0.575m therefore required to be reprofiled to 23/24.
Willox Park Phase1 - 17 units to be completed on site. Project spend now requires to be reprofiled  . Pre planning discussions
were more involved than anticipated and required some re designing which has resulted in delay to estimated start date from
January 2023 to June 2023 with estimated completion May 2024. Demolition complete, and site investigation under way.  Officers
ready to submit to for full planning.  Tender application expected to go out April 23.  At this stage spend in the current year is
expected to be £0.400m against budget of £2.390m resulting in reprofiling rquirement of £1.989m.
Mount Pleasant - 25 units to be completed on site. Project spend now requires to be reprofiled. Unanticipated longer time frame
for demolition (9 months) has delayed this project by 6 months, now estimating a March 2023 site start, although demolitions are
planned for next month. £0.100m expected costs in 22/23, resulting in reprofiling requirement of £2.420m to 23/24.
Bonhill Gap Site - 32 units to be completed on site.  Estimated start date July 2023 and estimated completion September 2024. 
The project is currently  at design stage with spend of £0.420m expected in 22/23 . No reprofilng required .
Mitigating Action
Staff will work closely with all stakeholders to try and ensure timely resolutions of issues as they arise.

Secure entry component renewals
This budget is to focus on secure door entry component renewals as identified and
recommended from the housing stock condition survey and appropriate council officer referrals.
Anticipated Outcome
Anticipated not to meet full spend despite best efforts.
Planned End Date  Forecast End Date
Main Issues / Reason for Variance
This programme always presents challenges with owner liaison and reaching agreements to install door entry where none exists,
this contributes directly to achieving SHQS compliance for this element and reducing abeyances. The budget reflects the demand
and number of installs required but it is acknowledged that full uptake is unlikely.
Mitigating Action
Officers continue to liaise with owners to encourage agreement for install.

Planned End Date  Forecast End Date
Main Issues / Reason for Variance
No Issues, anticipated to meet spend and revised targets.
Anticipated Outcome
Budget spend anticipated, should criteria be met.
Planned End Date  Forecast End Date
Main Issues / Reason for Variance
The main objective of the Buy Back Scheme is to bring former council properties that were sold through the RTB scheme, back
into council use.  These properties must assist the council with reducing housing need on the waiting list and where appropriate
assist with external capital works.  For these reasons, any purchase is subject to stringent criteria to ensure accountability and
value for money for existing tenants.  Spend in 22/23 will therefore be dependent on these factors.  So far this year, 8 homes have
been purchased, with a further 4 under offer. The target is to deliver an additional 20 homes each year through the buyback
scheme.
Mitigating Action
