A summary was provided of: the outturn for each service area with a commentary on the main variations and an outline of how the position since Period 11; the movements in the Council’s general balance; and the Council’s reserves and provisions. The Council’s financial position for 2013/14 had improved by £0.978m when compared to projections made at Period 11 which had resulted in a net overspend of £0.390m. The Leader expressed his appreciation of the efforts and hard work of the officers in achieving these results and asked the Head of Finance, Governance and Assurance to pass Cabinet’s thanks on to the team. 7.2 During the ensuing discussion a Member sought the comments of the Leader in response to a section of public opinion which felt the Council was making too many savings given the net overspend in 2013/14 and the amount being held in reserves. In reply the Leader referred to the financial challenges facing the authority over the next few years, particularly in relation to securing savings of £40m in 2014/15, and requested the Member and her Group come forward with some suggestions of their own in this regard and highlighted that they had not taken the opportunity to do so at the February budget meeting. He also commented that the Council was acting prudently given the need to make savings of £80m in the next three years and the Council’s reserves were low in comparison to those held by other authorities across the country. 7.3 A Member also requested information on the current position of job losses at the end of the year and sought projections for further losses in terms of compulsory redundancies to be made in the near future.
