- The purpose of the Technical Note is to provide Members with an update on the previous agreed additional capital investment in to various themed projects.
- As a reminder, the allocation of the additional investment was agreed at Council on 4 November 2021 under agenda item 14, report PNCA/091/21/AB.
- The Council agreed the recommendation of the report which were:
- Instructs the Executive Officer – Roads & Environment to identify and thereafter progress projects to resurface pavements, enhance cycle ways and footpaths in rural areas and to address flooding/drainage issues.
- Instructs officers to fund £1m in additional expenditure from current reserves and for the Executive Officer – Assets & Facilities to incorporate this change in a full update to the 10 Year Capital Investment Plan to be presented to a future Council.
- Notes that in year monitoring of the capital programme will continue to be provided to Council through reports to the Council’s Policy and Resources Committee, which will include regular updates on all capital projects, and advise of minor cost changes on projects/budget lines and virements within the overall approved programme.
- In addition, it was also agreed that Officers bring back the management information they currently had, along with the additional projects proposed by Local Members, and subsequently scored, to the Group Leaders and Independent Councillor. These projects would be costed and, if the total exceeded the £1m allocated budget, representations could be made to the Scottish Government.
- A meeting of the Group Leaders and Independent Councillor, attended by the Council Chief Executive, Depute Chief Executive and Executive Officer for Roads & Environment took place on Thursday 10 February 2021 to review the proposed projects under the agreed themes.
