The Director of Customer & Corporate Services presented a report which set out the capital out-turn position for the 2018/19 financial year and asked Executive to approve requests for re-profiling and to recommend the re-stated 2019/20-2023/24 programme to Council.

An out-turn of £77.402m was reported on the approved 2018/19 budget of £106.291m; a net variation of £28.889m. This comprised requests to re-profile £29.546m of schemes to future years and adjustments to schemes increasing expenditure by £0.627m. However, the overall programme continued to operate within budget. Variances and re-profiling requests within each portfolio area were outlined in Table 1 at paragraph 10 of the report, with details of variances above £100k in paragraphs 12 to 85. The capital programme for 2019/20 to 2023/24, re-stated as a result of the re-profiling, was shown in Table 3 at paragraph 89 and detailed in Annex 1.

Officers provided an update to the position on the Community Stadium set out in paragraphs 77-85 of the report, stating that construction would not now be completed in September. The council was working to determine the reasons for the delay and a full report would be provided once this work had concluded. With reference to comments made under public participation, it was proposed to extend the financial support provided to YCK.
