Decision details

In accordance with Section 100B (4) (b) of the Local Government Act 1972, the Chairman of the Cabinet agreed that this item be considered as an item of urgent business in order that Supplementary Revenue and Capital Estimates could be approved to ensure that the grant funding could be committed by the end of the financial year.

As this was an urgent item it will also be exempt from the call-in provisions.

Consideration was given to a report on a successful grant funding application made to the Department of Energy and Climate Change for Local Authority Funds for domestic energy efficiency, and sought permission to commit expenditure.

RESOLVED

1.         To approve a Supplementary Revenue Estimate of £205,400 and a Supplementary Capital Estimate of £244,500, both fully funded by Government grant.

2.         To authorise the Section 151 Officer to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Energy and Climate Change for and on behalf of the Authority.
