The report provides a review of the Capital Plan.

Note: Annexes 1 to 3 to the report are contained in a separate booklet circulated with the agenda.

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.

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 1 to the report be endorsed;

(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 Air Quality Monitoring Equipment and Larkfield Leisure Centre Pool Hall Roof for fast track evaluation;

(4)         the transfer of the schemes listed in paragraph 1.7.3 of the report from List C to List B and approval of the use of the Scape Minor Works Framework, Kier Construction Ltd as the framework contractor, as set out at paragraph 1.7.5 of the report, to procure the planned major programme of works at Larkfield Leisure Centre; and

(5)          the draft Capital Strategy as set out at Annex 4 to the report be endorsed for adoption and publication on the Council’s website.
