BRIDGE ESTATE DRAFT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PDF 220 KB Report of Director of Strategic Finance. Additional documents: Minutes: Barry Dryden, Senior Finance Manager, presented the draft annual financial statement for 2014/15 to the committee, highlighting the following:
(a)
the surplus paid to Nottingham City Council for 2014/15 was
£1.504m; (b)
endowment funds increased by £1.228m during 2014/15, largely
reflecting the increase in the value of fixed assets; (c) a final version of the financial statement will be brought to the Trusts and Charities Committee later in the year.
The following responses were given in answer to questions from the committee:
(d)
work at Carrington Street and Unity Square is already advanced and
would not be suitable for funds from the Bridge Estate; (e)
future focus of the Bridge Estate will be in receiving regular and
increasing income from the smaller number of high-quality
properties that it has retained; (f)
ringfencing
Bridge Estate funds for investment in new property at this time
would have a knock-on effect to other council services. However
this should be more possible in the future. As an alternative,
money can be borrowed to fund investments where a good return would
be ensured; (g) the Central College site on Maid Marion Way would be unsuitable for the Bridge Estate as it is more involved with refurbishing existing property than developing new property. However, the new college site near Broadmarsh will have a knock-on positive effect for the whole area, including the Bridge Estate property on Lister Gate.
