Decision details

Members considered a report which provided the Executive Member with updates and progress on HRA Service Plan agreed from April 2006. A separate report detailed the Housing General Fund.

The original 2006/07 budget reported to members on 6^th February 2006 had a working balance of £4,513k. After a number of budget adjustments, including the allocation of recharges and insurances, the balance on the HRA was now estimated to be £4,540k. The net variations of £295k together with the budgeted balance of £4,540k now gave a total estimated balance on the HRA of £4,835k.  This was an increase of £22k since the first monitoring report that went to the executive member on 11^th September 2006.

Members queried about the figures for non decent council housing stock in Annex 1 being different to those in paragraph 9 of the report. Officers reported that the figure of 12.78% in Annex 1 was the correct one and the figure of 14.79% in paragraph 9 should be 12.78%.

The Executive Member for Housing thanked staff in Housing Services for their work on the HRA and Housing General Fund.
