Agreed:

RECOMMENDED that Council approve: -

(1)  the overall financial position for the 2021/22 annual capital programme;

(2)  the amendments and requests for further funding to the Council’s annual capital programme for 2022/23; and

(3)  an additional scheme for a Skate Ramp and BMX jumps at Pinhoe Station Road Playing Field with £49,280 to be added to the Capital Programme .

Reason for Decision: As set out in the report and as amended at the meeting.

The Executive received the report on the Council’s overall financial performance of for the 2021/22 financial year in respect of its annual General Fund capital programme. The report also sought approval for the 2022/23 revised capital programme including commitments carried forward from 2021/22.

The Deputy Chief Finance Officer requested that £49,280 be added to the Capital Programme in order to facilitate an additional scheme for a Skate Ramp and BMX jumps at Pinhoe Station Road Playing Field. The existing skate ramp had been dismantled and stored in the Belle Isle Depot for re-use and it was planned to be reinstated at the eastern end of the playing field. It would be widened to allow it to be better used and to improve safety for users. Additionally, the existing BMX jumps would be levelled and replaced with a new pump track. It would be fully funded from Section 106 contributions which Council would be requested to approve on 19 July, so as to prevent delaying approval until October 2022.

Members supported the additional recommendation.
