Members received a report which presented the first quarter review of the 2006/07 Housing Capital Programme and the resources available to support it.

The report advised that there was one minor variation to Mandatory Disabled Facilities Grants of £12k reduction due to changes in levels of subsidy and match funding level, and one minor variation to Capitalised Salaries of £17k due to budget amendments on revenue which had been offset by a reduction in revenue contribution. Officers were informed in mid July that they had been successful in achieving 75% grant funding for improvements to the 3 travellers sites of £302k over 2006/07 and 2007/08. More detailed information would be brought back in the second quarter report on expected timescales for delivery of the various elements of the project.
