Effective from: 18/01/2022
Decision:
To accept the information in the
report and to note the progress towards realising the savings schemes for
2021/22 and previous years.
It was noted that the impact of
Covid-19 had contributed to a slippage in the savings programme, as the Council
had given the utmost priority to safeguarding the health and lives of the
people of Gwynedd in response to the crisis.
In preparing the 2022/23 budget, as set out in
Appendix 3 for the 2022/23 savings
plans: - acknowledge that the situation had now changed so much that savings
schemes totalling £489,750 cannot be achieved, by deleting them from the
budget, namely
·
End
to End Review (Children and Families Department) worth £279,750
·
Transfer
of playing fields to others (Highways and Municipal Department) worth £210,000
¾
move
the delivery profile for schemes worth £1,290,250 to 2023/24 and subsequent
years
¾
it
was noted that the savings value of the remaining schemes to be deducted from
the 2022/23 budget, as set out in Appendix 3, is £595,000.

report on the end of November 2021 review of the Revenue Budget was accepted,
and the latest financial situation regarding the budgets of each department /
service was considered.
·
It
was noted that the financial impact of Covid
continues in 2021/22, which is a combination of additional costs, income losses

safeguarding the health and lives of the people of Gwynedd in response to the
crisis.
·
It
was noted that the Welsh Government's Covid support
system via the hardship fund was continuing, however, it did not address
overspend due to a slippage in the savings programme.

was noted that there was significant overspend in the Adults, Health and
Well-being Department and the Highways and Municipal Department this year.
·

following recommendations and financial virements on Corporate budgets were

finance the capital programme.
¾
A
net underspend of (£1,846k) on Corporate budgets goes to the Financial Strategy
Support Fund to assist with the financial challenges facing the Council,
particularly due to the Covid crisis.
