To consider the report of the Chief Finance Officer.

Corporate Services Scrutiny Committee considered the report at its meeting on 26 September 2019 and its comments will be reported. (The appendices were previously circulated to the Scrutiny Committee on the above date and can be accessed by clicking the above link).

The Executive considered a report, which had already been presented to Corporate Services Scrutiny Committee on 26 September 2019 (Min. No. 33 refers) which reported on the current position of the Council’s revised annual capital programme and the expected level of deferred expenditure into future years.

Particular reference was made to the £42.5 million budget of the General Fund Capital Programme, of which, £5.5million had been spent in first quarter. Although significant projects were being delivered there was a further funding request for £600,000 for the agile and flexible working programme, funded from the Transformation fund, which required Council approval.

RECOMMENDED that Council approve:-

(1)  The revision of the annual capital programme to reflect the reported variations detailed in paragraph 9.1 and Appendix 1 of the report presented to the meeting; and

(2)  The additional budget request detailed in paragraph 9.7 of the report.
