Revenue and Capital Outturn 2009/10

The report presents the provisional revenue and capital outturn for 2009/10.  It refers to known potential revenue pressures for the current year, as a preface to a request to carry forward specific revenue budget items to 2010/11, and to write-off revenue overspends where recovery in future years, in combination with containing those pressures in the current year, would have an adverse impact on continuing service delivery.  The report also refers to requests to rephase specific capital budget items and to write off capital underspends in 2009/10 and to approve specific capital budget items in the 2010/11 capital programme.
