Decision details

This report informed Members of the final outturn position of the 2005/06 Capital Programme and of any slippage in budgets between financial years. The report also informed Members of any new schemes and sought approval for their addition to the 2006/07 to 2008/09 Capital Programme. The report advised Members of changes to existing schemes to allow the more effective management and monitoring of the Capital Programme.

Officers updated that the Youth Service Vehicle Purchase scheme would transfer to Children’s Services EMAP after this meeting. Members discussed the following:

·        Restoring Rowntrees Park back to its original condition had been a success and it was queried if the same could be done for Hull Road Park. Officers reported that this was possible although they had not yet engaged with the public.

·        It was raised if plans to develop Victoria Park had progressed, as funding for this had been provided through a Section 106 agreement relating to St Barnabus School. Officers reported they would look into this.

·        Members requested that a colour copy of the Annex be available at future meetings.
