Minutes:
56.1 Cabinet considered a report by the Director of Finance and Support Services. The report was introduced by Cllr Jeremy Hunt, Cabinet Member for Finance, who outlined the challenging year in terms of finance, staff, providing services during lockdown and adapting to home working. Whilst government Covid-19 support grants were most welcome, additional costs remained with a £5.5m unfunded overspend. The outcome of the Financial Settlement was awaited.
56.2 Cllr Dr James Walsh, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group expressed concern about the fair funding review in respect of Adults Social Care. He asked how the Business Rates review would go forward. He asked about items on the risk register including the risk of death or serious injury to a child and action to reduce it and also about cyber security. The Executive Director for Children, Young People and Learning and Cabinet Member for Economy and Corporate Resources responded to Cllr Dr Walsh’s questions regarding the risk register and action being taken.
56.3 Cllr Michael Jones, Leader of the Labour Group welcomed the pay award and allocation to fund this from the contingency budget. He raised the number of Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) appeals and asked the cost of damage from the fire at Crawley Household Waste Recycling Site (HWRS). He asked why solar installation at schools had been suspended and raised issues about the development at Whitehouse Farm. The Cabinet Member for Environment and Cabinet Member for Education and Skills responded to Cllr Jones’s comments.
