We noted that this was the second report of the current municipal year in the new style with a scorecard illustrating progress against Council priorities. As at July 2007, 84% of indicators were achieving or close to achieving target, in addition to which 84% of indicators had maintained or improved performance since the end of last year. Monitoring showed that good progress was being made across all the priorities with 84% of indicators achieving green or amber status.
We also noted that the overall revenue budget monitoring, based on the July position, showed a forecast net overspend of £0.4 million. This was largely made up of a number of budget pressures relating to Asylum, care packages and Alexandra Palace which were largely offset by a projected surplus on the Housing General Fund, an earmarked reserve for asylum and a back-dated one off grant claim. The aggregate capital projected position in 2007/08 was currently projected to under spend by £0.3 million.
Arising from our consideration of the report reference was made to the recent award to Homes for Haringey of two star status and to the green flag status award to Finsbury Park, the eighth park in the Borough to achieve this status. We asked that our thanks and congratulations be placed on record to all those involved in securing these achievements.
