Report by Carolyn Godfrey, Corporate Director.

Councillor Dick Tonge presented the report which summarised the annual performance against the agreed Treasury Management Strategy. In giving his presentation, Councillor Tonge highlighted the limited exposure of the Council to LOBO loans; and that the Council had made some loans to other local authorities.

In response to a question from Councillor Jon Hubbard, it was confirmed that there had been a delay in some housing works that had led to a delay in drawing down £2m of capital funding.

Resolved

To consider and note:

a)         The Prudential Indicators, Treasury Indicators and other treasury management strategies set for 2015-16 against actual positions resulting from actions within the year as detailed in Appendix A of the report presented; and

b)        The investments during the year in the context of the Annual Investment Strategy as detailed in Appendix B of the report presented.

Reason for Decision

To give members of the Cabinet an opportunity to consider the performance of the Council against the parameters set out in the approved Treasury Management Strategy for 2015-16.
