The attached report provides the Council’s forecast outturn as at Month 9 (December 2022) for the General Fund (GF), Housing Revenue Account (HRA) and the Capital Programme (CP). The report forms part of the Council’s financial management process for publicly reporting financial performance monthly.

The attached report builds on the Corporate Asset Management Plan and Disposal Strategy approved by the Executive Mayor in Cabinet in November 2022. It recommends the disposal of further properties in line with the approved strategy.

There is a PART B (exempt – not for publication) report also listed later in this agenda.

Cabinet is asked to consider the attached report by the Monitoring Officer under Section 5A of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989.

The following motion is to be moved and seconded where it is proposed to exclude the press and public from the remainder of a meeting:

“That, under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act, 1972, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following items of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information falling within those paragraphs indicated in Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended.”

This Part B report sets out the proposed disposal value of each of the properties.

This information is exempt because it contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information).
