The Corporate Finance Manager and Strategic Finance Manager presented reports on the 2023/24 final outturn for the Council Fund and Housing Revenue Account and Capital Programme prior to consideration by Cabinet.

Separate responses would be shared with the Committee on (i) the cost of purchasing vehicles for the Fleet contract renewal; (ii) percentage of reserves against revenue held by other local authorities for comparison purposes; (iii) information on the shared service accommodation charge from Gwynedd Council under Planning, Environment & Economy; and (iv) details of the previously understated £0.042m Food Poverty costs in Housing & Communities.  Also, an update on mitigation options for homelessness was requested for the September meeting.

On that basis, the recommendations were supported.
