Issue - meetings

            The Executive Board had considered a report of the Strategic Director, Communities on the Adults and Community Capital Programme.

            RESOLVED: That Council

(1)                     note the final 2010/11 outturn figures; and

(2)          approve the capital project for 2011/12 as set out in Appendix 1 to the report.

            The Board received a report of the Strategic Director, Communities which informed Members of the final outturn figures for 2010/11 and the provisional capital programme for 2011/12.

            The Board was advised that the 2010/11 underspend in the main related to two areas:-

·        Borough Placements & Service Development – the scheme required detailed planning on an individual basis and negotiation with housing developers. Both of these activities were time consuming and had incurred delays, impacting on the expected spending; and

·        Extra Care – Payment was now expected in two halves, one of which was incurred in 2010/11, the second in 2011/12.

The Board was further advised that the Government had clear expectations that councils would support vulnerable people by promoting independence and wellbeing.  Capital projects detailed in the report supported these objectives and promoted social inclusion through sport and leisure.

RESOLVED: That

1)     the final 2010/11 outturn figures be noted; and

2)     the Board recommend that the Council approve the capital project for 2011/12 as set out in Appendix 1 to the report.
