Decision
(a) That the
capital programme proposed by the Capital Strategy and Asset Management Group
(CSAM) for the period 2021/22 to 2025/26 and beyond be noted and those projects
scheduled to commence in 2021/22 be progressed;
(b) That the
impact on future capital budgets of the two approved projects, where there
would be contractual commitments beyond 2021/22 be noted:
(c) That any
further release of funds be paused at this stage, given the commitment to the
St Mary’s school site.
(d) That a further
review be carried out as part of the 2020/21 capital closedown process.
Reason for decision
The
budget process and timetable for 2021/22 was very tight and although a
programme total was agreed, individual projects were not sufficiently developed
and more time was needed to bring these investments forward.
