• Young people’s support: an under-spend of £0.38 million includes additional income, staff
savings from unfilled posts as well as lower than anticipated expenditure against young
people’s expenses.
• Improving outcomes in schools and academies – an under-spend of £0.19 million is due to
staff savings from a number of vacancies across education, performance and intervention.
• Minor under spends in other budget areas totalling £0.74 million.
Community and Infrastructure
The forecast outturn position for Community and Infrastructure is an over spend of £1.1 million,
following additional expenditure on flood related works approved by Cabinet in January 2013.
This overspend is mainly comprised of:
• The under delivery of the Libraries savings target of £0.4 million, as previously agreed by
Cabinet.
• An under spend on Waste Management of £0.35 million, primarily due to phased District
service changes, meaning that the pump priming, project and communications support will
not be incurred in this financial year.
• An additional £1 million spend on remedial work on the highway following a needs
assessment of the damage to the network from flooding in December, which would be
allocated to address immediate priorities.
• An over spend of £0.1 million on Trading Standards
Strategy & Challenge, Support Services
The forecast position is a £0.5 million under-spend primarily due to the early delivery of Meeting
the Challenge savings and vacancy management. This under spend is after the utilisation of
£0.46 million to enable the delivery of activity outlined within the ICT Roadmap 2013-2016, in
respect of the themes relating to infrastructure and compliance & security. This will provide the
development of the replacement telephony solution and adequate planning for the
implementation as outlined within the ICT Roadmap.
