Decision details

The Director of Resources and Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report reviewing the final outturn of the 2023/24 capital programme for this Committee and seeking Member approval for the slippage of some capital scheme budgets from the 2023/24 financial year to the 2024/25 financial year.

Members were reminded that the total approved budget for this Committee’s capital programme of 21 schemes was £1,471,210.  Later in the year the capital programme budget was revised to £960,410 in respect of 19 schemes.  This followed a review of progress on all schemes in the capital programme and included moving budget of £440,170 on 5 schemes into the 2024/25 financial year.

Members were informed that the actual expenditure on this Committee’s capital programme was £625,177, which was 65% of the revised estimate budget.

Of the 19 schemes in the revised capital programme 10 were completed in year. The remaining 9 schemes were not completed in-year resulting in slippage from the 2023/24 financial year in to the 2024/25 financial year totalling £287,850.

An additional approval for the Changing Places Toilet Scheme of £42,000 was requested, which would be fully funded from DLUHC grant.

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

1.     Approve the slippage of £287,850 as set out at paragraph 3.6 of the report.

2.     Approve an additional £42,000 for the Changing Places Toilet Scheme in 2024/25, fully funded from DLUHC grant.
