Report of Director of Resources enclosed

The Director of Resources submitted a report asking for Committee to consider the future capital programme for this Committee, covering the period 2023/24 to 2027/28 for recommendation to Policy and Finance Committee.

The Council usually operates a five-year capital programme, but only a three-year capital programme for 2022/23 to 2024/25 was approved last year.  This is because the Council was awaiting the outcome of the Government’s fair funding review before committing to setting a longer-term five-year capital programme. Committees had however submitted capital scheme bids for 2025/26 to 2026/27 as part of last year’s capital programme review.

There were no already approved capital schemes in the 2023/24 to 2024/25 capital programme for this Committee.

Members were reminded that for this Committee, one capital scheme bid, totally £55,000 was submitted in 2021 for the financial years 2025/26 to 2026/27.  A review of the scheme has resulted in no change to this value. 

No new capital bids were submitted for 2027/28 for this Committee.

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

Members considered and proposed a future capital programme for this Committee’s services for onward recommendation to Policy and Finance Committee for the period 2023/24 to 2027/28, based on:

• The proposals included in this report; and

• Any capital bid suggestions and amendments that members wished to make, of which there were none.
