Members noted that this recommendation had already been considered at agenda item 6 (Minute 27/23 above refers).

E.28/23 Review of Capital Programme (Capital Programme Monitoring) and Review of Earmarked Reserves

Specifically with regard to the Shadycombe Car Park proposals, a local Ward Member stated the consequent economic benefits that would be generated.  It was therefore his hope that a fully costed proposal would be brought back to Members in due course.

It was then:

RESOLVED

1)   That the following three capital projects be withdrawn from the current Capital Programme: Whitestrand Replacement of Toilets and Showers (£659,993); the Currently Unallocated Residual Housing Capital Budget (£85,157) and the Contingency Capital Budget (£268,184). (NB. this would free up capital resources of £1.013m, which is potentially available for future corporate priorities and can be re-purposed);

2)   That Shadycombe Car Park and Sherford Commercial Land Acquisition be withdrawn from the Capital Programme and it be noted that this would not free up any capital resources;

3)   That all other capital projects, be progressed in line with the existing capital projects within the overall Capital Programme;

4)   That the content of the Capital Programme Monitoring Report (as set out in Appendix B of the published agenda report) be noted which highlighted current expenditure on capital projects between April 2023 and July 2023 of £1.400m, being 13% of the profiled budget for 2023/24 (the first four months of the financial year); and

5)   That the outcome of the review of revenue reserves be approved, releasing revenue reserves of up to £1.541m which were potentially available to support the delivery of the emerging Corporate Strategy.
