To present the Annual Report and Management Statement of Accounts for 2024/25 for consideration by the Joint Committee, in accordance with the vision of working to provide the most professional, compassionate and sensitive services to meet the needs and expectations of people using Bramcote Crematorium.

The Joint Committee were presented with the Annual Report and Management Statement of Accounts for 2024/25 in accordance with the vision of working to provide the most professional, compassionate and sensitive services to meet the needs and expectations of people using Bramcote Crematorium.

The accounts for Bramcote Bereavement Services show a revenue account surplus of £3,555 for the financial year ended 31 March 2025. The surplus on operations for the year was £596,856, which was significantly higher than the original budget approved in January 2024 due to the timing of spends on the major capital development works.

The net surplus for the year was added to the accumulated Revenue Account surplus which on 31 March 2025 amounted to £329,823.

RESOLVED that:

1. The Annual Report and Management Statement of Accounts for the financial year 2024/25 be approved as the basis for generating accounting entries to the two constituent authorities.

2. The accumulated revenue surplus and other investments be retained by the Joint Committee for future use, with the position being reviewed when the 2025/26 revised estimates are considered.

3. Development budgets carry forward requests totalling £1,366,150, as outlined in the report, be approved and included in the 2025/26 budget.
