Purpose:

Budget Council on 28th February 2022 agreed that funding would be identified within the 2022/23 Capital Programme to provide capital resource for community asset transfer of up to £500,000 in respect of library facilities and Climate Emergency Budget support of up to £125,000.

 

The report recommends that monies are vired from the property related Health and Safety Condition Surveys Budget.

Decision:

Resolved – That a virement of capital funding of £625,000 from the Health and Safety Condition Survey programme be agreed to fund eligible capital works in relation to community asset transfer of up to £500,000 and to fund eligible capital works in relation to the climate emergency budget of up to £125,000.

Reasons for the decision:

To enable resources to be available for capital schemes in accordance with the decisions made by Budget Council on 28th February 2022.
