Minutes:

Councillor Peter Butlin (Deputy Leader of the Council) presented this report, noting that in terms of the revenue forecast, an overall overspend was still forecasted since the position at quarter 2.  He noted that there had been a small increase in the remaining service variance, but this only left a net overspend of £0.55m, which was well within the acceptable tolerance.

 

There were no questions or comments on the report.
