DISCUSSION:
The Leader introduced the report and placed on record his thanks to Members and Officers for their tireless work in a very challenging year, as the Council recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic.
In response to a question on budget underspend within the outturn, the S151 Officer highlighted the regular financial monitoring reports to Cabinet which routinely identified underspends. Whilst the final total underspend was higher than in previous years, the last year had been exceptionally different for Councils across the country and the underspend would assist the Council with upcoming challenges as the cost of living and utility pressures continued.
It was confirmed that the Council’s Health and Wellbeing Strategy would come forward shortly for consideration.
