Decision

That Cabinet delegates authority to the Deputy Chief Executive and Section 151 Officer, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Finance, HR & Economic Development, to finalise the 2025/26 budget carry forwards for Capital and Revenue expenditure in respect of the General Fund and Housing Revenue Account (HRA).

Reasons for the decision

To ensure the efficient transfer of funding allocation between financial years without unnecessary delay.

Other options considered

Budget carry forwards could have been presented to a later meeting of Cabinet, but this would have created a delay in the availability of budgets; there would be a consequent detrimental impact on delivery of projects and services.
