To consider a report of the Corporate Director for Corporate and Support Services.

 

The purpose of this report is to set out the case for changing the method of provision for ‘previously supported borrowing’ to one which is arguably more prudent (on a whole life basis) than the current approach.

 

The Scrutiny Committee is invited to recommend that the Council Meeting  amend the 2015/16 Minimum Revenue Provision (MRP) Policy Statement to enable the Council to provide for MRP on previously supported General Fund borrowing in equal annual instalments over a 50 year period commencing 1 April 2015.
