Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the R.F.O concerning the financial position of items under the remit of this Committee.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Responsible Financial Officer (RFO) detailing income and expenditure for budgets within the remit of the Committee.

In considering 2027/28 capital budget priorities, Members requested the continued allocation of £50,000 towards property asset carbon reduction projects.

Members also identified potential kitchen and equipment improvements at the Corn Exchange and Burwell Hall. Whilst recognising that officer capacity to deliver additional projects was currently limited, Members agreed that earmarking funding would enable such projects to be progressed when resources became available.

Recommended:

1. That, the report be noted; and
2. That, the management accounts of the Halls, Cemeteries and Allotments Committee for the period 1 April to 31 July 2026 be approved and;

3.      That, consideration be given, as part of the 2027/28 budget-setting process, to maintaining an annual allocation of £50,000 for carbon reduction projects, together with the earmarking of funding for future improvements to facilities and equipment at the Corn Exchange and Burwell Hall.
