    Decision Maker: Cabinet

    Decision status: Recommendations Approved (subject to call-in)

    Is Key decision?: Yes

    Is subject to call in?: Yes

    Purpose:

    To propose that a revised Commercial Investment Strategy be approved and subsequently adopted for implementation. 

    Decision:

    The Cabinet approved the Revised Commercial Investment Strategy.

    Reasons for the decision:

    CIPFA have carried out a full review of the existing Commercial Investment 
    Strategy.

    The Treasury and Capital Management Working Group have also
    reviewed the draft and their comments have been considered in the final document.

     

    The revised Strategy continues to support the Treasury Management Strategy in delivering income from investments to support the Council’s activities. It also aligns with other policies and strategies, including the Corporate Plan.

     

    The revised Strategy is a refresh of the existing policy and aligns with a Corporate Plan Action/Project (no.54). This will provide a clear basis for maintaining or taking other Commercial investments over the coming years pre-Local Government Reorganisation

    Alternative options considered:

    N/A

    Resource Implications:

    No additional resource requirements arise from this report.
