Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendations.

The Chief Officer (Organisational Change) introduced the Council Fund Capital Programme 2017/18 – 2019/20 report.

            The report had been considered at Corporate Resources Overview and Scrutiny Committee where it was supported and comments from that meeting were included in the report.  On the Flintshire Bridge, Councillor Kevin Jones said that Welsh Government (WG) had been lobbied for some time to trunk the road which would see responsibility for maintaining the Bridge move from the Authority.

            Details of the proposed investment schemes were outlined and Councillors Christine Jones and Bithell particularly welcomed the school and social care schemes.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the allocations and schemes in Table 2 of the report for Statutory / Regulatory and Retained Assets sections of the Council Fund Capital Programme 2017/18 – 2019/20 be approved and recommended to Council;

(b)       That the schemes included in Table 3 for the Investment section of the Council Fund Capital Programme 2017/18 - 2019/20 be approved and recommended to Council;

(c)        That it be noted that the shortfall in funding of schemes in 2018/19 and 2019/20 at this point in the approval process is flexible.  Options including a combination of future capital receipts, alternative grants, prudential borrowing or phasing schemes over several years will be considered during 2017/18, and included in future capital programme reports; and

(d)       That the development of a longer term Capital Strategy and Asset Management Plan be noted.
