Report of the section 151 officer

Members were presented with the financial performance of the Partnership for the period April 2023 to January 2024.

In response to questions from members, around the planned budget underspend of 32k this year, it was confirmed that:

·         There was a potential for a significant year-end underspend on salaries and postage based on current estimates.

·         Historically HBBC invoiced the other two authorities for their contributions each year and there were no other forward payments.

·         By working in this way there was a small benefit to the two other partners but in the spirit of partnership working HBBC continued to work in this way.

Members noted the report.
