THE AYRSHIRE SHARED SERVICE JOINT COMMITTEE 
2nd SEPTEMBER 2022 
AYRSHIRE ROADS ALLIANCE
REVENUE FINANCIAL MONITORING REPORT 
Report by Head of Finance and ICT 
PURPOSE OF REPORT 
1 The purpose of this Report is to update the Joint Committee on the revenue
budget monitoring position for the year to 31 March 2022, for the Ayrshire
Roads Alliance and also the budget for 2022-23. 
2 It is recommended that the Joint Committee 
(i) Note the financial management position of the Ayrshire Roads
Alliance for 2021-22.
(ii) Notes detail of the 2022-23 Ayrshire Roads Alliance revenue budget
(iii) Requests a further financial update at the next meeting of the Joint
Committee.
(iv) Otherwise, notes the content of this Report 
REVIEW OF FUNDING MECHANISM 
3 The Joint Committee approved a Report on 23 May 2014 describing the budget
monitoring arrangements for the Ayrshire Roads Alliance. 
4 As part of the Detailed Business Case the service budget is split between
strategic service delivery and local service delivery.  This separates out the
core/recurring costs of service delivery from the local service costs at a single
Council level.  This ensures that decisions on the level of local spend remain
with local Members, and ensures that the local Members retain control of their
local roads budgets.  Appendix 1 provides a breakdown of this split. 
5 At its meeting of 19th February 2016, Committee agreed a change to how
Strategic Service Delivery would be allocated between the two Councils. A
smaller group of core Strategic Delivery staff have been identified and their
costs continue to be split equally. The remaining Strategic Delivery costs would
be apportioned in line with Local Delivery budget inputs plus actual capital
expenditure in-year.   
BUDGET MONITORING POSITION 
6 The overall outturn for 2021-22 is £1.656m less than budget. 
7 Strategic Delivery out-turn is £0.994m less than budget.

8 East Ayrshire Local Delivery out-turn is £0.466m less than budget and South
Ayrshire Local Delivery £0.196m greater than budget. 
IMPACT OF COVID 
9 Covid 19 has had a significant impact on Ayrshire Roads Alliance. Parking
income was £1.726m less than budget (£1.003m in East Ayrshire, £0.723m in
South Ayrshire). Within East Ayrshire £1.061m of lost income and additional
expenditure was removed from the service and offset by covid funding and
balances. The shortfall within South Ayrshire is netted against surpluses
achieved in previous years.     
10 Summary information is provided in the table below. A full budget monitoring
statement, including reasons for major variances is attached at Appendix 2.

BUDGET REALIGNMENT  
13 In June 2017 South Ayrshire Council Internal Audit issued a report –
“Ayrshire Roads Alliance: Review of South Ayrshire Council Monitoring
Procedures”. 
14 The report contains a recommendation “Executive Director (Economy,
Neighbourhood and Environment) to request ARA management to present a
budget statement showing any adjustments made between subjective budget
headings to the ASSJC for information”. 
15 This relates to the setting of 2022-23 ARA budgets. The budget is created by
adding inflation and savings targets to a base budget (the base budget being
the 2021-22 budget). The budget is then discussed with ARA management
who have the opportunity to move funds based on the anticipated spend in
the forthcoming year. In order to facilitate this exercise ARA management also
considered 2021-22 outturn figures. No changes were made to Strategic,
Local Delivery – East or Local Delivery – South net expenditure budget
allocations. 
16 An analysis of budget movement between 2021-22 and 2022-23 budget
allocations along with an explanation of those movements is provided at
Appendix 3. 
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 
17 The final revenue budget for the Ayrshire Roads Alliance for 2021-22 was
£13.351m, inclusive of one-off covid funding totalling £1.243m. Actual
expenditure was £11.695m. Ayrshire Roads Alliance budget for 2022-23 is
£12.547. The budget will continue to be monitored and reported to the Joint
Committee.

LEGAL IMPLICATIONS 
18 The work of the Ayrshire Roads Alliance is undertaken in accordance with 
relevant legislation. 
HUMAN RESOURCES IMPLICATIONS 
19 The establishment of the Ayrshire Roads Alliance is dependent on the available
budget. Available budget and human resource requirements will be reviewed
as part of budget monitoring. 
COMMUNITY / COUNCIL PLAN IMPLICATIONS 
20 The work undertaken by the Ayrshire Roads Alliance aligns with the Community
Plan for East Ayrshire Council; and the Council Plan for South Ayrshire Council. 
RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS  
21 Appropriate financial monitoring arrangements are in place to mitigate risk. 
This is included in the Ayrshire Roads Alliance Risk Register.  Regular meetings
are held between relevant finance staff and the Ayrshire Roads Alliance.

STRATEGIC DELIVERY 
This variance mainly reflects staff turnover savings due to vacant posts (£0.318m),
reduced insurance costs relating to ARA South (£0.113m), savings on computing and
communications costs (£0.073m) and a reduced provision for bad and doubtful debts
(£0.218m) along with additional income (£0.406m). This is partly offset by severance costs
(£0.117m). 
LOCAL DELIVERY – EAST AYRSHIRE
This mainly reflects vacancies and turnover (£0.558m), along with savings on transport
costs (£0.040m), and supplies and services (£0.028m). This is partly offset by additional
debt charges in respect of purchased vehicles (£0.099m) and LED street lighting
replacement programme (£0.059m), along with additional sub-contractor costs (£0.046m). 
LOCAL DELIVERY – SOUTH AYRSHIRE

vacancies, partly offset by additional overtime costs, along with savings on dredging at
Girvan Harbour (£0.105m) and Coastal Protection (£0.050m) and additional income
(£0.099m). This is partly offset by additional debt charges as a result of purchased
vehicles (£0.087m) and additional expenditure on depot repairs (£0.049m), computing
(£0.044m) particularly in relation to the migration of WDM system, equipment and
materials (£0.059m) and consultancy costs (£0.050m), particularly in relation to new
