The first instalment of the precept, £52,268, was received in April 2022. In addition, we received £8,713.81 of Community Infrastructure Levy. To date £78,071.64 (gross)/£72,212.82 (net) has been received this year.
Expenditure to date totals £87,922.84 (gross)/£77,079.35 (net). This includes the first Pavilion payment to Mixbrow and the first of two PWLB repayments this year. Of this £26,757.88 (net) has been paid from the General Reserve/Precept and £50,321.47 (net) has been paid out of Earmarked Reserves. The budget report papers in item MPC(22)67.02 show a more detailed breakdown.
In terms of cash resources as at 31 May 2022, cash in the Council’s bank accounts totalled £574,328.64 made up as follows:
- Barclays Bank Current Account £173,090.03

- Lloyds Bank Treasurer’s Account £ 33,115.34
- Ipswich Building Society Rent Deposit Account £ 5,126.97
- Lloyds Instant Savings Account £ 1.00
After adding as assets £10,219.44 (VAT due) and deducting £5,126.97 (rent deposit) as liabilities the total liquid assets amounted to £579,421.41. Of that sum, £475,318.50 relates to the balance of CIL and grant monies held as Earmarked Reserves:
Fete EMR £1,074.02
CIL reserves £120,974
EMR Melton Rd crossings project £35,755

Budget Risk EMR £5,000
Hall Farm Road £6,395 (grant received from the Playpot)
Signage £3,000 (agreed as part of 2022/23 budget and allocated from CIL Reserve)
Therefore, the General Reserve at 31 May 2022 is £96,866.91. We are currently running a budget with a £12k deficit, although some of these expenses could be paid through EMRs. Should this not be the case the predicted General Reserve at the end of the year is around £49k. There is further information about the budget in agenda item MPC(22)67.02.
