Report of Director of Resources enclosed.

The Director of Resources submitted a report for information on the position for the period April to September 2022 on this year’s revenue budget for this committee.

The comparison between actual and budgeted expenditure showed an overspend of £16,243 for the first six months of the financial year 2022/23. After allowing for transfers to/from earmarked reserves the overspend was £5,776. There were no areas of spend that presented any significant concern.

Before the meeting finished the Director gave members an update on plans to hold Christmas markets on 3 Saturdays in December in the bullring area of the market. This would coincide with the weekends when there was free parking and the Mayor would be invited to switch on the Christmas lights.
