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. However, there has been a delay in the announcement of the grant amount this year. Previous years allocations indicate that approximately £10.000m should be received, and the programme has been developed to utilise this. Once the amount is announced, the programme will be adjusted accordingly.

This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order No. C19 have been complied with.

Decision

The Cabinet approved the recommendation(s) as set out in the report.
