Members received a report informing them of the likely out-turn position of the 2008/9 Capital Programme, advising them of changes to existing schemes and seeking approval for the addition of new schemes to the Capital Programme.

Members noted that as the Council had chosen to participate in the Governments free swimming scheme for the over 60s and under 16s, it would receive an allocation of funding of £43,639. Members suggested it would be useful to receive figures from the pools to ascertain if those making use of free swimming previously paid for swimming or were new users.
