Minutes:

The Executive received a report which set out the Council’s Capital, Investment and Treasury Management Strategies for 2021-22 and recommended to Council that the Treasury Management Prudential Indicators and Minimum Revenue Provision (MRP) Strategy be adopted.  Discussion ensued on debt profile and risk, an area highlighted in the Local Government Association (LGA) Peer Report.  It was noted that the issue had been addressed in the report and the MRP Strategy.  The Finance Director added that, as part of the final accounts process and audit of the Council’s Statement of Accounts, the Council was required to risk assess every loan in order to demonstrate recoverability.  Repayment of loans to Freedom Leisure and Peacocks, and changes to Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) guidance, were also discussed.
