Revenue and capital budget monitoring, third quarter 2022/23
Cabinet noted the variations and the actions in hand to address them. It approved moving money between budget headings (virements) and using the Contingency Fund, subject to further advice from the Section 151 Officer (the senior finance officer). It told directors to keep minimising overspending. It recognised that overspends can now only be reduced, not removed, this year, and that tough budget choices are expected for 2023/24.

It reinforced the need for directors to keep spending down through recovery plans, and noted the indicative overspend, with further action to be confirmed at year end.
Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
