V27-1035 : REVENUE BUDGET 2000/2001 - HOUSING GENERAL FUND SERVICES
The report of the Director of Central Services provided a revised budget for 1999/2000 and a draft budget for 2000/01. For 1999/2000 it indicated an increase of £313,000 on the originally approved budget, due mainly to higher housing benefit costs. For 2000/2001 an increase of £221,000 was shown, again mainly from higher housing benefit costs and inflation provisions.
RESOLVED
