Decision:
1.        To note the
comments arising from the Overview and Scrutiny Committee meeting
on 20 January 2026, as set out in the Supplementary Agenda
Pack.
2.        To recommend
that full Council, at its Budget meeting on 11 February 2026,
approves the five-year Capital Strategy for 2026/2031,
incorporating the Treasury Management Strategy, Prudential
Indicators and Asset Investment Strategy, as set out in Appendices
1, 2, and 3 to this report.
 
Reason:
The Capital Strategy is a whole
organisation approach to capital investments (expenditure) and
overall strategic planning. It has historically been seen as a
finance responsibility but should be steered by the leadership of
the Council and is a responsibility of all.
 
Other options considered and
rejected by the Executive:
None.
 
Details of any conflict of
interest declared by the Leader or lead councillors and any
dispensation granted:
None.
