Decision details

The Director of Resources submitted a report reviewing the final outturn of the 2021/22 capital programme for this committee and seeking member approval for the slippage of some capital scheme budgets for the 2021/22 financial year to the 2022/23 financial year.

Actual expenditure on this committee’s capital expenditure was £430,510 which was 72.8% of the revised estimate budget.

Seven of the twelve capital programme schemes were completed in-year and overall expenditure on these schemes was contained within the revised estimate budget approved in February 2022.

Slippage of £153,240 into 2022/23 was requested to fund completion of the five schemes not completed in 2021/22.

Members discussed the frameworks used for letting contracts and the need to keep communities informed of the timeframe of capital projects coming to fruition.
