Report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Corporate Direction).

Members gave consideration to the Capital Programme 2014/15 to 2017/18. It was highlighted that the programme was dominated by larger schemes which would start to see movement from 2016 onwards.

Councillor Mayne left the meeting at 7.47pm.

The receipt of a £714,000 grant for ‘Channel Shift’ was highlighted and it was explained that the aim of the project was being developed with partners to enable customers to move towards self-serve. Members asked for more information on this initiative to a future meeting.

Disposal of the site of the former depot on Middlefield Lane was discussed and it was noted that consideration was being given to whether this land should be sold or gifted to the company. It was agreed that such options be included in the previously requested report on the creation of the wholly owned company.

With regard to the Crescent development, it was noted that the council’s agent was making good progress in securing tenants for Block C and would soon be in a position to make an announcement.

RESOLVED – the capital programme be noted and RECOMMENDED to Council.
