Decision:

The Committee noted the current level of overspend on capital expenditure against its Capital Programme provision as at 30 September 2021.

Minutes:

The main changes to this quarter’s report were due to a small number of significant projects (Oast House, the Leisure Centre and Victory Place- although given that the report was based on the position as at 31 March 2021 it did not reflect in the estimated outturn the recent inflationary uplifts for the Leisure Centre and Victory Place).  There were significant pressures arising from inflation, particularly in the construction sector.  The funding market was frequently reviewed in an attempt to mitigate increasing project costs as much as possible.

 

The Committee requested that current project budgets be compared to their original budget as well as the last quarter.
