Minutes:

The Capital Programme Update was introduced by the Head of Finance and Resources, Paul Riley. The report noted the programme considered by Council in March 2014 and provided further detail on infrastructure expenditure and the predicted level of funding for 2019/20.

 

It was noted that a previous SCRAIP on Asset Management had recommended that the cross party Budget Working Group consider the Capital Programme within its terms of reference.

 

In response to questions the Head of Finance and Resources explained that:

 

·  The minus figure for Asset Management / Corporate Property was due to projects that were allowed to progress where the budget will accommodate them at a later date.

·  The River Medway cycle path plan was designed by Kent County Council and was to be implemented by Maidstone BC, and was expected to benefit residents by providing an alternative method of travelling to employment areas other than by car.

RESOLVED:

 

  1. That the changes to the Capital Programme be noted;
  2. That the Capital projects review be included within the terms of reference of the Budget Working Group.
