Minutes:

Cabinet considered the report of the Cabinet Member for Performance and Resources that sought Members to recommend that Council approves the Capital Strategy 2021/22.

 

The Cabinet Member for Performance and Resources highlighted the key features of the report and the core principles that underpinned it.  She thanked the Head of Policy and Resources, Accountancy Manager and the Finance Team for their hard work.  The Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure reminded Members of the importance of this and the Treasury Management Strategy (agenda item 26) to the running of the authority.  He noted how the prudent and sensible measures adopted would safeguard taxpayers’ money and reduce any necessity to raise Council Tax.  The Cabinet Member for Communities and Neighbourhoods commented that it was the good work of the Finance Team and Cabinet Member for Performance and Resources on the Capital and related strategies that gave the council the confidence to deliver the best possible services for the public.  The Cabinet Member for Planning and Housing Strategy related his experience as former Chair of the Audit and Governance Committee when the independent auditors had consistently praised the quality of the work presented to them.
