Purpose

This report sets out the
proposals for the allocation of schools capital funding to address
a further phase of high priority building condition repairs on
Community, Voluntary Controlled and Maintained Schools in
Lancashire.
 
The condition programme is
funded by a grant from the Department for Education. Allocations
are usually announced in April, and previous year's allocations
indicate that approximately £14.000m should be received
in  2024/25. In addition to this grant,
there is an unallocated balance of previous year's Condition Led
Programme funding, and it is proposed to utilise £4.000m
leaving approximately £3.153m in reserve.
 
The programme, set out at
Appendix 'A', has been developed to utilise this grant funding
allocation. Once the amount is announced, the programme will be
adjusted accordingly. 
 
This is deemed to be a Key
Decision and the requirements of Standing Order C19 have been
complied with.
