Agenda item

Should the Cabinet choose to Exclude the Press and Public for the exempt element of the report including the wording and appendices 7 & 8 the exclusion paragraph is set out below:

The Cabinet is asked to consider excluding the public from the meeting under section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972 for consideration of the exempt elements  of the Capital  programme on the grounds that they involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined by paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Act, and that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

PRIVATE ITEM

Details of any representations received about why the following reports should be considered in public will be reported at the meeting.

RECOMMENDED:  1)         That the amendments to capital schemes and resources for the 2024-2029 capital programme as detailed in the report be approved.

2) That new capital bids as set out in section 5, table 6 of the report, are to be funded from available capital resources and included in the capital programme 2024-2029 as detailed (subject to pending approval from SLT) of the report be approved.

Reason for Decision

To report amendments, rephasing and resources to the 2024-2029 Capital Programme. Cabinet chose not to exclude the press and public to discuss in detail the exempt elements as further detailed consideration of those would be made at a later date.

Councillor Morley presented the report which:

·         revised the 2024/2025 projections for spending on the capital programme

·         set out an estimate of capital resources that would be available for 2024-2029

·         detailed new capital bids that were recommended to be included in the capital programme for the period 2024-2029

·         outlined provisional figures for capital expenditure for the period 2024-2029.

Cabinet noted that the exempt elements of the report would be the subject of further work, therefore did not exclude the press and public to debate.
