This report provides the quarter two 2025/26 projected financial outturn information for the general fund, capital programme, housing revenue account (HRA) and Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG).

The quarter one position was a projected overspend of £3.7m reflecting the increasing financial challenges facing local government from social care demand within both adults and children’s services.  Demand in these areas has grown further over the second quarter but with reduced expenditure in other services limiting the increase in the projected overspend to £4.2 million.
