Issue - meetings

Councillor Fleur de Rhe Philipe Cabinet member for Finance, Performance and Risk presented a report which reflected the position of the 2010-11 capital programme as at 31 July 2010.

Cabinet was asked to decide on how the reduction in education funding from central Government was dealt with in the 2010-11 capital programme through the 3 options identified in paragraph 14 of the report presented.  After a debate it was agreed that option 14.1 was the preferred option, this is to reduce the affected projects in the capital programme by the corresponding reduction in funding from central government. This would reduce the overall spending on education schemes in 2010-11.

Resolved:

That Cabinet:

a) That the current position of the 2010/2011 capital programme be noted.

b) That the budget changes in section 1 of Appendix B of the report presented be noted

c) That the cut in education funding from central Government be dealt with in the 2010-11 capital programme through option 1 in paragraph 14 of the report as detailed above.

d) That the addition to the capital programme of schemes at Monument Hill Reed Bed and Marlborough Household Recycling Centre under the conditions set out in the report be approved.

Reason for Decision

To inform cabinet of the current position of the 2010-11 capital programme and identify issues which need to be resolved as a result of cuts in funding from Central Government.
