Report of the Interim Executive Director, Environment Department.

Members received a report of the Interim Executive Director, Environment Department.

The Chamberlain confirmed that this request was being taken through contingencies rather than the carry-forward procedure as charities could only carry-forward underspends. Epping Forest’s underspend had not been sufficient to cover the request. Any carry-forward would therefore have needed to be taken from another charity’s underspend, which she felt would have been inappropriate.

RESOLVED, that – Members approve the bid of £210k in relation to critical H&S work required to known dangerous trees at Epping Forest within financial year 2023-24, financed from City’s Cash contingency for 2023-24.
