A report was presented to the Committee that noted progress and changes to the current planned maintenance programme and sought approval for the 2018/19 programme of proposed works.

The report highlighted that the Property Maintenance Reserve stood at £402,000 as at 1 April 2017.  During 207/18, a sum of £129,000 had been released from the reserve principally to fund completion of the outstanding items from the 2016/17 programme. An underspend of £27,000 was forecast for 2017/18, giving a projected reserve balance of £300,000 as at 31 March 2018.

There was provision of £210,000 for planned maintenance within the approved 2018/19 revenue budget. The proposed schemes for 2018/19 collectively exceeded the approved 2018/19 budget by £70,000. If approved, the funding of this shortfall from the Property Maintenance Reserve would reduce the projected reserve balance to £230,000.
