The Committee received a report summarising the proposed 2024/25 capital programme and a provisional programme for 2025/26 to 2028/29 and seeking the Committee’s approval for the programme to be submitted to Council in February 2024.

The Committee considered the following matters:

a)            Ashley Centre Car Park Barriers Replacement. Following a query from a Member with respect to the alternative pay-and-display solution set out at section 4 under ‘Risks associated with the scheme’ in Appendix 2 to the report, the Parking Manager explained that the pay-and-display model, whilst cheaper in terms of setup cost, would come with significant drawbacks by way of financial, public-perception, and health-and-safety risks.

Following consideration, the Committee unanimously resolved to:

(1)          Submit the capital programme for 2024/25 as identified in section 3 of the report to the Council for approval on 13 February 2024;
