This report sets out the monitoring of the Council’s Treasury Management function for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

A deficit of £2.1m was the final position as the Council continues to borrow to fund the accumulating deficit on its Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG). Borrowing is also at higher-than-expected interest rates due to volatility in current debt costs.

The report also sets out the Quarter One performance for 2024/25 which forecasts an underspend of £0.3m due to the Councils ability to borrow in the local authority market at lower than budgeted interest rate.
