The Committee received a report summarising the proposed 2019/20 capital programme and a provisional programme for 2020-22. The Committee’s approval was sought for the programme to be submitted to Council in February 2019.

The following matter was considered:

a)            Capital Bid for refurbishment of Bourne Hall toilets. Members of the Committee expressed the view that scope of refurbishment works to the Bourne Hall toilets should be broadened to include further elements not listed within the bid appraisal form attached at Annex 2 to the report, such as sink and toilet units. Members of the Committee expressed that works to these items would improve Bourne Hall customer experience, and reduce reputational risks, as the current facilities were dated and in need of replacement. The Chairman informed the Committee that the full details of the planned works were not contained within the report, and that he would discuss the Committee’s concerns with the Council’s Senior Surveyor following the meeting. The Chairman would communicate the outcome of this to members of the Committee.

Following consideration it was resolved:

That the Committee:

(1)      Submitted the Capital Programme for 2019/20 as identified in section 4 and 5 of the report to the Council for approval on 19 February 2019;

(2)      Confirmed that it supported all of the schemes included in the provisional programme for 2020-22 as identified in section 6 of the report;

(3)      Noted that:-

(a)   schemes subject to external funding from Disabled Facilities Grants would only proceed when funding had been received;

(b)   schemes for 2020-22 were provisional pending an annual review of funds available for capital investment.
