Housing Revenue Account (HRA) Update Report: Quarter 3 (April to December) 2025

10/03/2026 - Housing Revenue Account (HRA) Update Report: Quarter 3 (April to December) 2025

Decision

 

That Cabinet noted the forecast 2025/2026 outturn position for the HRA Revenue and Capital budgets as at the end of December 2025.

 

Reasons for the decision

 

Members should be kept up to date regarding the financial position of the Authority. Effective budget management was critical to ensuring financial resources were targeted towards the Council’s priorities. Monitoring enabled early identification of variations against the plan and timely corrective action.

 

Other options considered and rejected

 

Cabinet should have oversight of Council budgets, therefore, the option of not producing a monitoring report was discounted.
