It reported on budget spend to the end of October 2006, which is seven months into the capital programme year. The budgetary position over the next four years was also identified.

Members discussed the improvements to the ftr route, bus stop and shelter improvements, Barbican to St George’s Field Walking Route, and School Safety Schemes.

Councillor D’Agorne requested that his concerns be noted regarding the reduction in funding for integrated transport, the slower than anticipated progress on the reserve scheme for Blossom St/Queen St Junction Improvements, and the deferral of the Barbican to St George’s Field Walking Route.

Officers updated that the reason for slippages and deferrals was overprogramming.
