Minutes:
The Cabinet Member considered a report that provided an update on recent progress on major schemes within the Education, Children and Young People’s Capital Programme. The report also detailed new schemes proposed for 2012/13 and gave details of revisions to the programme.
The Cabinet Member was pleased to note the progress that had been made on a number of schemes but recognised the challenges that would be faced because of the reduction in devolved formula capital.
The Cabinet Member noted the pressure on school places in the Southbank area of the city and in particular at Knavesmire Primary School. Details were given of the proposed scheme at the school which would, in time, allow it to accommodate two forms of entry. At the request of the Cabinet Member, officers detailed how the scheme would be funded.
