To consider the report of the Strategic Director for Corporate Resources.

Agreed:

RECOMMENDED that Council approve the Capital Strategy as set out in Appendix A of the report presented at the meeting.

Reason for Decision: As set out in the report.

The Executive received the report which sought Member approval for the Capital Strategy 2025-26 and to provide assurance that all elected Members fully understood the long-term policy objectives and resulting capital strategy requirements, governance procedures and risks. Particular reference was made to there being no significant changes from the previous year to report.

During the discussion, an Executive Member enquired if the pending update to the Corporate Plan would impact on the Capital Strategy’s purpose and aims, notably with any priority changes?

In response to the question raised, the Strategic Director for Corporate Resources advised that amendments could be made to reflect any changes in priorities and any significant impact to the Capital Strategy would be brought back to Members.

The Leader moved the recommendations, which were seconded by Councillor Wright, voted upon, and CARRIED unanimously.

RECOMMENDED that Council approve the Capital Strategy as set out in Appendix A of the report presented at the meeting.
