  • p7Measures off target by department There are 57 measures in the Council Plan. In Q2, 3 departments had measures that were off target.
  • p11489,372 (486) 0 0 0 Treasury Management The Treasury Management Strategy, which provides the framework for managing the Council’s cash balances and borrowing requirement, continues to reflect a policy of ensuring minimum risk, whilst aiming to deliver secure realistic investment income on the Council’s cash balances. Cash investment balances as at 30 September 2025 have fallen by 57% in 1 year, from £166.9m at Q2 2024/25 to £71.8m at Q2 2025/26.
  • p155The value of debt aged over 5 months at Quarter 2 has increased by £3.293m, to £12.648m, compared to the 2024/25 outturn position of £9.355m.
  • p156The majority, £11.987m (94.77%), of all debt over 5 months old relates to Adult Social Care and Health (ASCH), which has increased by £3.051m compared with the 2024/25 outturn position of £8.936m. A significant factor contributing to this increase is over £2 million of income due where Discretionary or Non-Discretionary Funding was being provided and has ended during the current financial year. While the local authority was providing funding, this could not be recovered due to the absence of a legally authorised individual to settle the charges. Following the appointment of a deputy or attorney, or after the individual has sadly passed away, recovery is now being pursued. Often the amounts due are high value as they relate to charges for residential or nursing care. Additionally, £0.577m of the increase relates to income due from the NHS or another local authority.
