The £131,000 is listed as ‘asset works’ by the council and is detailed in a report exempt from the public.

Also in the report is £5.7m from its HRA General Reserve to be used as part of the £13m it’s spending on its HRA Capital Programme which refers to housing improvements and acquisitions for its Welland Homes company.

The HRA General Reserve will decrease from £21.459m to £15.718m of the reserves the council are required to have by law.

The report states that the General Fund Specific Reserves are also forecast to decrease by £2.756m from £8.702m to £5.946m.
