Consideration was given to the report of the Director of Finance and Transformation which reviewed the current position of the existing Capital Plan (List A). It also recommended schemes for addition to List C, some existing List C schemes for deletion or evaluation and schemes for inclusion on List B from those List C schemes previously selected for evaluation. Members were reminded that any aspirations in respect of capital schemes needed to be set within the context of the significant financial challenge facing the Council.
Particular reference was made to the reduction of £50,000 in the Council’s funding of Disabled Facility Grants arising from a review of spending and associated government grant funding. It was noted that this would contribute towards the savings target.
RECOMMENDED: That the following be endorsed for consideration by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee:
(1) the Capital Plan (List A) position as shown in Annex 2 to the report be endorsed and the contribution to the savings target as a result of the reassessment of Disabled Facility Grant funding noted;
(2) the amendment of List C as detailed in paragraph 1.5.3 of the report;
(3) the selection of those List C schemes shown in paragraph 1.6.4 of the report for evaluation or further evaluation as appropriate, including the Haysden Country Park Sewage Treatment Facility for fast track evaluation;
(4) the transfer of the schemes listed in paragraph 1.7.4 of the report from List C to List B; and
(5) the draft Capital Strategy as set out at Annex 5 to the report be endorsed for adoption and publication on the Council’s website.
