SUMMARY / PURPOSE

This report sets out the budget and spending position on both revenue and capital for the services within this Committee’s remit, as at the end of October. The figures do not include budgets that are controlled elsewhere than the service concerned. These are monitored by the Committee which bears responsibility for the item concerned. (For example, Resources Select Committee monitors the building maintenance budget centrally, and building maintenance costs are not therefore shown against individual services below).

REVENUE EXPENDITURE

The expenditure and income to date against budget are shown at Appendix 1.

At this stage of the financial year there are still no significant variances to report.

However, the comments contained in the Revenue Expenditure Table (Appendix 1) should be noted.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

Expenditure against each scheme is shown at Appendix 2.

POLICIES AND STRATEGIES

The services included within this report are linked to a number of the Council’s key strategic objectives, specifically: Improving health, housing and the quality of life for all; Encouraging job creation and economic prosperity; Protecting the Island’s natural, built and historic environment.
