To inform members of the draft financial outturn for 2023/24

Members were updated on the financial outturn for 2023/24.

In response to a question from members around the Housing Repairs Account (HRA) debt write offs in relation to deceased debtors, officers reported that the amounts owed would be recovered from the estate of the deceased where possible, but this was sometimes not successful as there were no contacts available for who was managing the estate. This led to no response to letters that could not be followed up any further.

Members approved the recommendations in the report.
