Councillor Phil Davies introduced a report of the Director of Resources, which set out the capital position at Month 7 (October 2014).  The Cabinet noted a number of variances which would impact on the forecast outturn (Table 2).  The report provided information which outlined the 2014/15 Capital Programme and the sources of funding.
