The main concern was resourcing capacity and budget
pressures and although the projected overspend advised at July
committee of £187k had been reduced to £100k for item

position.
·
Officers apologised for not updating the dates in
appendices.
·
City Accelerate had not generated the expected
income levels and Officers were reviewing whether to continue with
this offer.

it was not possible to recruit the right calibre staff.
RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
