Minutes:
Members considered a report which informed them of the likely outturn position of the 2008/09 Capital Programme based on the spend profile and information to October 2008/2009 and sought approval to any resulting changes to the programme. The report also informed the Executive Member of any slippage and sought approval for the associated funding to be slipped between the relevant financial years to reflect this.
In response to questions from Members, Officers replied that there had to be an element of estimation with regard to funding, as costs varied depending on the nature of the work and the property. This had been budgeted for, but needed to be monitored. Officers also noted that in terms of Tenant Choice backfills there had been an increase in unit costs, yet a decrease in unit costs for the Tenant Choice programme in the Tang Hall area.
It was noted that if more funding could be made available then this would help to keep people in their own homes and also help builders during the economic downturn.
