Some departments did not spend their full budget - despite costs in other areas rising
An East Lancashire local authority is on target to underspend its budget for 2024/25. A report on the financial position of Hyndburn Council for the first six months of the financial year up to September 30 estimates that by March 31 next year it will have a surplus of £85,000.
The document adds: "The forecast outturn position for environmental health is an overspend of £30,000. Environmental protection are forecasting a £30,000 overspend mainly due to spending on agency staff to cover a vacancy. This vacancy is expected to be filled on a permanent basis from January 2025. “Waste services are forecasting an underspend of £5,000 mainly due to staffing savings of £18,000 from unfilled posts, offset against an increase of £13,000 in vehicle hire costs and the cost of vehicle fuel. The forecast outturn position for legal and democratic services is an underspend of £23,000.
