He said that good treasury management was vital to the effective functioning of the Council and all its services. The Council was required to provide three treasury reports at stages during each year of which this was the first, being the forward-looking report for the next financial year.

 

Councillor Williamson proposed and Councillor Pope seconded a motion supporting the recommendation. On being put to the meeting and a vote taken, the motion was declared CARRIED.
