Issue - meetings

The capital monitoring report covers the cumulative actual expenditure to date, against the cumulative council approved capital programme budget and compares this against the latest forecast outturn from officers.

Suggestions on the content and presentation of future reports were welcomed outside the meeting.  It was hoped that a reporting process that made best use of committee bandwidth would evolve over time.

A precis of questions that had been asked at other committees was provided.  The impact of Covid-19 was also mentioned.  The expenditure for the Elmsleigh Centre had been approved by the former Cabinet in February 2021.

The Committee noted the current level of underspend on capital expenditure against its Capital Programme provision as at 30 June 2021 for the Council and the Corporate Policy and Resources Committee’s areas of responsibility.
