HEADLINES
This report sets out a summary of the Council’s General Fund and Housing Revenue Account
forecast in-year monitoring position for both revenue and capital budgets as determined at the end
of January 2025 (Period 10) for the current financial year 2024/25.
General Fund Revenue
The Council has an approved General Fund expenditure budg et of £1.275bn, matched by
equivalent funding. As at the end of December 2024 (Period 9), the forecast revenue variance was
£10.1m (representing a 0.79% variance against expenditure and 0.40% taking both income and
expenditure budgets into consideration). This forecast position was incorporated in the assumed
balances carried forward as contained in the Council Tax and Budget Setting report for 2025/26,
recently approved by Council.
The forecast variance has marginally increased in this Period 10 monitoring report, rising by £0.9m
to a total £11.0m – the monthly change representing a 0.04% change when compared to the total
income and expenditure budgets of the General Fund. The variance is entirely contained within
service-focussed operating budgets and reflects the ongoing pressures and risks local authorities
face in homelessness, childrens’ and adults social care provision.
Dedicated Schools Grant [DSG]
The in-year deficit relating to DSG has improved from the previous month forecast by £ 1.4m to
now be estimated at £15.9m. This is a significant improvement on the £25.6m deficit accumulated
in the previous financial year and on track to the original forecast deficit for 2024/25 of £16.3m
reported in May 2024.
Housing Revenue Account [HRA]
The approved 2024/25 HRA revenue budget consists of £88.7m expenditure matched by an
equivalent level of income (rents, service charges and other contributions). The Period 10 budget
monitoring position forecasts an unchanged nil variance against this budg et. Within the individual
changes from the previous month is £0.9m of underspend in operating costs, which has enabled
additional spend of £1.0m to be directed to undertake a further £1.0m of repairs to tenant and void
properties as well as compliance and inspection works. Rental forecasts have improved by £0.1m
as further additional housing stock is brought into use.
General Fund and HRA Capital Programmes
The Council set itself ambitious targets to invest in local services, infrastructure and homes during
2024/25 – a total of £368m being budgeted across both the General Fund and HRA areas in
Cabinet Report – 13 March 2025
(Part 1 Public)
2024/25. 75% of that target is expected to be spent in year, but the remainder (£92m) will slip into
later years, subject to Cabinet approval as part of the Draft Outturn report to be prepared in early
2025/26.
The General Fund capital programme includes a forecast of £9.3m of capital receipts to be used
to fund transformation costs leading to ongoing future revenue savings or cost avoidance, and is
to be funded from the flexible use of capital receipts (as allowed for under government regulation)

RECOMMENDATIONS
That the Cabinet:
1. Note the latest forecast outturn position for both the General Fund and HRA 2024/25
revenue and capital budgets;
2. Approve the list of revised fees and charges relating to the HRA for 2025/26 as set out in
Appendix 4 and explained in paragraphs 30 and 31.
Reasons for recommendation
1. The reason for Recommendation 1 is to aid understanding and transparency with regard to
the Council’s stewardship of residents funding of the Council and to enable decision makers
to manage and control their budgets effectively – taking affirmative action where required to
live within our means.
2. In order to deliver the maximum and best possible quality housing to our HRA tenants, it is
important that fees and charges are set appropriately to cover relevant costs.
Recommendation 2 supports that objective by seeking approval to uplift a ra nge of HRA
fees and charges to reflect costs and overall contribution to HRA income streams.
Alternative options considered / risk management
3. Recommendations 1 is for noting and as such have no other options that could be considered.
4. Members may choose to vary the proposed changes to the HRA fees as relates to
Recommendation 2, although any change will impact on the HRA business plan for 2025/26
and thus alter HRA reserves by the end of the year.

PART A: MONTHLY BUDGET MONITORING - DETAIL
GENERAL FUND (REVENUE)
5. Reports have been provided to Cabinet throughout the earlier part of this financial year. The
General Fund revenue budget is of significant scale with £1.257bn of expenditure in the
approved budget (and corresponding level of income – collectively £2.514bn, often referred
to as “gross transactional value”). Should our budgets be 99% delivered against, the potential
1% difference would amount to a £25m variance. It is for this reason that the Council is
committed over the medium term to bolster its level of reserves to insulate against such risks.
6. At the end of the previous period (December 2024 – Period 9) the forecast General Fund
revenue forecast envisaged a £10.1m overall overspend (a 0.4% variance against the above
gross transactional budget). This comprised an overall service operating budget variance of
£4.9m and £18.8m of the re-classification of unallocated savings and budget re-basing, offset
by £2.6m of forecast underspends across contingencies and corporate budgets, and an £11m
target to capitalise expenditure.
7. The latest forecast sees th e projected variance rise slightly to £11.0m – a £0.9m adverse
variance. This change is entirely attributable to movements in the service operating budgets
element of the overall General Fund revenue budgets. The table below summarises that
headline position.
Table 1 – Summary of General Fund Revenue Forecast
Cabinet Report – 13 March 2025
(Part 1 Public)
8. From the table above, it can be seen that the predominant driver of the change in forecast
variance relates to a £1.3m movement in the Children, Families and Education portfolio, with
movements in other service operating budgets being minor, and no changes to other budgets.
9. The Council is not unique in facing challenges in affording to meet growing pressures
particularly in homelessness demand, adult and children’s social care pressures. These
demand-led pressures are driven by statutory duties to provide support and against a
backdrop of continued real-terms funding cuts from government over the last fifteen years. A
number of councils have already sought exceptional financial support from central
government because of this difficult financial environment – seven London authorities have
so far sought £418m in such support for 2025/26. A survey by London Councils has
suggested that councils across London are expecting to see budgets exceeded by £700m in
the current financial year – on average £21.2m per council and gives some context to the
latest forecast variance of £11.0m for this authority.
10. Set out below is a brief overview of the underlying nature of the reported Period 10 variances
for each service operating budget portfolio:
i. Property, Highways and Transport – the £0.1m forecast overspend relates to slippage
in delivery of a saving regarding the review of the Civic Centre operating costs;
ii. Finance and Transformation – the overall £2.4m forecast underspend predominantly
relates to additional interest earnings on cash balances and lower capital borrowing
costs associated with later phasing and in -year underspends across the capital
programme, offset by higher than budgeted energy costs;
iii. Corporate Services – the £1.2m forecast underspend is driven by optimising the use
of alternative funding sources (including recharging others appropriately and
capitalisation) in addition to holding a number of posts vacant;
iv. Residents’ Services – the overall £5.0m fore cast overspend within this portfolio is
predominantly driven by rising levels of homelessness demand (£4.3m), together with
a substantial element of the remainder relating to costs associated with statutory
inspections of imported food through Heathrow airport;
v. Children, Families and Education – the £2.2m forecast overspend relates almost
entirely to the costs of care provision for looked after children.
The movement in forecast of £1.3m from the previous period forecast includes a
£0.6m relating to grant funding assumed in the forecast which is unlikely to be able
to be utilised in the current financial year as spending forecasts on applicable activity
is les s than previously assumed. This unused funding remains available to offset
emerging pressures in 2025/26 and is not lost to the Council. The service area and
Finance are reviewing other means in which this adverse variance may be mitigated
before the year end; and
vi. Health and Social Care – the forecast overall overspend of £2.2m relates to levels of
demand for adult social care support at the same time of dealing with significant
pressure from care suppliers for above inflation contract rate increases.
Cabinet Report – 13 March 2025
(Part 1 Public)
11. A fur ther summary table illustrating the service operating budget position is set out in
Appendix 1.
12. Key to managing budgets is the continuous monitoring and drive to realise proposed savings
approved and included in the budget. Savings of £21.4m were approved for 2024/25 when
the budget was set in February 2024.
13. The table below sets out the latest monitoring information for all planned savings and shows
a slight worsening as £0.5m of savings have moved from green and amber categories to
being in the red (at risk) category. Any anticipated delay in delivering these savings has been
included in the £11.0m forecast year-end variance set out above.
Table 2 – 2024/25 Savings Tracker
14. In setting the 2025/26 General Fund revenue budget, the 2025/26 Council Tax and Budget
Setting Report (approved by Council in Feb 2025) noted the Period 9 forecast outturn and
predicted a closing cumulative reserves level of £24.5m (assuming a year -end adv erse
outturn of £10.1m for 2024/25). The latest forecast, if held to the year -end, would see that
anticipated closing reserves position fall slightly to £23.6m
15. Risks remain to deliver a final outturn position in line with the current forecast. In particul ar,
the identification of an additional assumed £11.0m of revenue expenditure capable of being
capitalised is currently underway but has yet to identify items to that value in full.
16. Senior management and portfolio holders are committed to continue to ident ify measures to
mitigate continued pressures on service budgets, many of which are demand -led and
statutory and will seek to seek alternative options to contribute to this overall position.
17. Income relating to the Council’s collection of Council Tax and Business Rates (the latter also
termed National Non -Domestic Rates [ NNDR]) is subject to special local government
accounting regulations that, through the Collection Fund, defer any in -year variances to that
originally budgeted into later years. As such, any forecast in-year variance does not ultimately
Cabinet Report – 13 March 2025
(Part 1 Public)
impact on the 2024/25 revenue account or level of usable reserves carried forward into
2025/26.
18. The Period 10 monitoring forecast of the Collection Fund has seen a £0.5m adverse
movement from the £0.9m forecast in Period 9 and will thus form an additional pressure of
£0.5m in the 2026/27 financial year (the previously estimated £0.9m being included in the
approved 2025/26 budget). The overall forecast deficit is now forecast to be £1.4m and
consists of:
i. Council Tax – forecasting a £2.4m pressure against a budget of £145.8m; and
ii. Business Rates – forecasting a £1.0m favourable movement on a £66.9m budget.
Dedicated Schools Grant [DSG]
19. The Dedicated Schools Grant total Block for the Maintained Schools is forecasting a deficit of
£15.9m (an improvement of £0.9m on the forecast in Period 9 reporting) , representing a
significant improvement from the £25.6m reported at outturn 2023/24 and on track to the
original forecast deficit for 2024/25 of £16.3m reported in May 2024.
20. The opening deficit brought forward from previous years has been adjusted to reflect an
adjustment to the Council’s final accounts presented to Audit Committee for approval in
February 2025. This adjustment relates to the reversal of creditor accrual s in earlier years
and is not related to activity within the current financial year. The final adjustment made in the
accounts was for £3.1m and differs by £0.9m from the previously reported figure of £4.0m.
Taking this adjustment for the opening balance i nto account, the forecast closing deficit is
thus £2.3m better than reported in Period 9.
21. The in-year deficit of £15.9m is wholly driven by High Needs placement demand and cost
pressures which continue to be significantly underfunded in the DSG settlement that the
authority receives from the Department for Education [ DfE]. The table below sets out a
summary of the Schools Budget and Forecast:
Table 3 – DSG Income and Expenditure Summary
Cabinet Report – 13 March 2025
(Part 1 Public)
22. Whilst the Safety Valve Agreement with the Department of Education [DfE] is currently
suspended, work has continued and is very successfully taking control of the market,
managing unit costs down and beginning to see a significant reduction in the deficit as a
consequence. It should be noted that constructive discussions with the DfE are continuing
and that the Council has set aside £8.0m of available capital receipts which can ultimately be
allocated to reduce the deficit.
23. A core target for the revised High Needs Safety Valve Plan is to actively reduce unit costs by
concentrating Special Educational Needs [ SEN] support in-Borough within our maintained
schools and thereby reduce dependence on high cost independent and out-of-borough
placements. Trend data shows clear evidence that the approach which has been in place
since early last financial year is now beginning to have a positive impact.
24. The service strategy to manage the High Needs Deficit Plan through a combination of
mitigating costs and releasing savings is beginning to take affect and show significant
success, with an in-year forecast reduction of £9.7m on last year’s deficit of £25.6m, with both
costs and the in-year deficit reducing in 2024/25.
25. The issue of mounting DSG deficits remains a national issue, with projections for a £4bn
deficit across the country forming a key strand to lobbying by sector bodies such as the LGA
and London Councils.
HOUSING REVENUE ACCOUNT (REVENUE)
26. The Housing Revenue Account [HRA] is required to be ring-fenced as a separate account
from the General Fund for the income and expenditure related to the provision of social
housing and as such neither can subsidise the other. It is accordingly reported separately to
the General Fund in the sections above.
27. The HRA is reporting no change from Period 9 and is forecast to balance to the approved
budget with no variance to the budgeted closing balances. Slippage in the delivery of
additional housing units has marginally impacted on anticipated rental income but is offset
by a reduction in associated capital financing costs incurred as the result of acquiring or
building those additional units. A summary of the latest HRA monitoring position is set out in
the table below:
Cabinet Report – 13 March 2025
(Part 1 Public)
Table 4 – Housing Revenue Account – Revenue Forecast
28. A summary of the key variances for the HRA are set out below:
i. Operational Assets – anticipated savings across other elements of the HRA revenue
budget have released an additional £1.0m of resources that have been able to be
directed toward improving the residents homes through further repairs and
maintenance works; void refurbishments (to bring vacant homes back into use
quicker); and compliance and inspection programmes;
ii. Staffing costs of the HRA, energy costs for communal areas etc, and recharges from
the General Fund for back-office services it supplies to the HRA are contained within
the Director of Housing, Other Service Areas , and Contribution to Shared Services
budget headings. Additional savings of £0.9 m in these budgets have enable the
above additional investment in improving the homes of residents;
iii. Capital Programme Financing and Interest Expenditure & Income budgets show no
change in forecast from the prior month. Slippage in the capital programme cre ates
a modest underspend of £0.7m in this year’s expected capital charges; and
iv. Rents and Other Income includes both rents and service charges for tenants and
leaseholders. Slippage in the delivery of additional units within the HRA sees income
forecast to be £0.5m lower than originally budgeted – a £0.1m improvement on the
forecast position in the previous period.
29. The overall revenue forecast for the HRA remains unchanged as previously reported in Period
9 as a balanced net budget. Forecast reserves at year end thus also remain unchanged at
£15.0m after the originally planned drawdown of £0.1m.
Cabinet Report – 13 March 2025
(Part 1 Public)
30. Fees and charges changes for 2025/26 were generally considered in the Council’s recent
Budget and Council Tax Setting report (approved by Council February 2025). That report
omitted a number of charges relating to the HRA as cost modelling remained to be completed
and validated.
31. This report seeks Cabinet approval for a number of HRA charges to be approved for the
financial year 2025/26. A schedule of these proposed charges is set out in Appendix 4. In the
main, these charges are proposed to be increased by 1.7% (the September 2024 Consumer
Price Index [CPI] and generally used for a large number of government uplifts to benefits etc).
Energy cost prices are proposed to be reduced in line with anticipated costs and reflect aiming
to charge residents for the cost of energy used without making a surplus.
GENERAL FUND CAPITAL PROGRAMME
32. At the time of compiling this report, the Council had not set a new capital programme as part
of the 2025/26 Budget Setting process. This report is based on the capital budgets as
pertained to the position at the end of Period 10.
33. The General Fund capital programme is forecasting a spend of £111.9m against a then
approved budget of £160.3m – a forecast underspend of £48.4m. Of this variance, one
programme (Older People’s Initiatives) is reported as an overall underspend with the
remainder to be requested as slippage into next or other future years. A request to slip current
year budgets will be submitted to Cabinet as part of the Draft Outturn Report early in the new
financial year.
34. A summary of the General Fund capital monitoring position is set out in the table below and
more comprehensive details provided in Appendix 2.
Table 5 – General Fund Capital Monitoring
Cabinet Report – 13 March 2025
(Part 1 Public)
35. The General Fund capital programme includes a forecast of £9.3m of capital receipts to be
used to fund transformation costs leading to ongoing fu ture revenue savings or cost
avoidance, and is to be funded from the flexible use of capital receipts (as allowed for under
government regulation). The ability to finance these costs is predicated on the delivery of
capital receipts from asset disposals.
36. As detailed in Appendix 2, the anticipated slippage in capital expenditure is expected to be
fully spent in the remaining years of the five -year capital programme (with the exception of
the £150k specifically mentioned above)
HOUSING REVENUE ACCOUNT CAPITAL PROGRAMME
37. The HRA has an approved capital budget of £207.7m (as at Period 10 and before Council
approved the new Medium Term Financial Strategy in February 2025) and is anticipating a
year-end spend of £164.3m against this budget – a variance of £43.4m. The entirety of this
variance is assumed to be rolled-forward and spent in future years to maintain investment in
the Council’s stock of housing.
38. Details of individual programme budgets and forecasts are set out in Appendix 3 and are
summarised in the table below:
Table 6 – Housing Revenue Account Capital Monitoring
39. As detailed in Appendix 3, the anticipated slippage in capital expenditure is expected to be
fully spent in the remaining years of the five-year capital programme
TREASURY MANAGEMENT UPDATE
40. The Council invests surplus balances which have derived from balances relating to, amongst
other items, creditor balances; provisions; reserves; grants and contributions paid in advance
etc.
Cabinet Report – 13 March 2025
(Part 1 Public)
41. As at the end of Period 10, the Council had £66.1m on depos it in a range of financial
instruments ( a reduction of £4.3m from the previous month) and is summarised in the table
below:
Table 7 – Investments
42. The Council has long term borrowing which has been taken to fund capital investment historic
and current capital projects. Overall borrowing has risen by £2.5m since the previous month
(£8.5m borrowing for the HRA offset by a net £6.0m repayment of General Fund debt). In
total the Council had £475.2m of borrowing outstanding at the end of Period 10 - £172.9m by
the General Fund and £302.4m by the HRA. A summary of the Council’s borrowings is set
out in the table below:
Table 8 – Borrowing
43. The need to borrow and timing of that borrowing has been less than originally anticipated as
the delivery of capital prog rammes have been delayed. Both the General Fund and HRA
revenue forecasts include favourable variances as interest costs are lower (£2.4m and £0.7m
respectively).
