Report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Community Direction).

Minutes:

The programme of environmental improvement projects for 2014/15 was presented to the Commission. Members reiterated the importance of the programme for communities, particularly also as it attracted external contributions in addition to capital expenditure. It was stated that this was likely to result in projects costing £59,647 being implemented at a net cost to this authority of £34,704 for the 2013/14 programme. In response to members’ concerns, it was reported that continuity of staffing had been achieved due to succession planning and that the momentum would be maintained.

 

It was noted that many of the schemes were put into the programme as a result of Conservation Area appraisals the previous year and others were unpredicted schemes that arose during the period.

 

RESOLVED – the schemes programmed for 2014/15 be endorsed.
