Bank Reconciliation – It was noted that there was an error on the CCLA amount shown on the statement to that shown on the spreadsheet. The RFO confirmed that it was a typographic error but did not affect the total amounts shown on the spreadsheet.

Debtors – RFO confirmed that the two outstanding amounts for Parkwood Hall Co-operative Academy and Swanley FC have now been paid.

Projects – Boating Area – It was asked why this was 50% over budget. RFO explained that there were some unexpected works on the jetty and kiosk but the underspend on the Café project is offset against the overspend on the Boating area.

It was asked if all the projects would be started. RFO confirmed that they would all be started by March 2024. CEO mentioned that the Alexandra Garden Area project may be put on hold due to some Health and Safety remedy works that needed to be done after recent safety inspection surveys.
